I’ve tried Proggy etc. Then, for a while, Monaco which is available on Macs, which looks great with antialiasing in ClearType on Windows.

But I have now finally settled for “Deja Vu Sans” and it’s mono type fonts. This is the default code font in Ubuntu, and it’s so fantastic that it’s my default font in Windows too.

scrod, another indication that someone doesn’t work in software development is when they say “all the codes they tweak” instead of “all the codes we tweak.” :P

On the font front, I’m using Consolas now but I’m Pragmata-curious. Seriously thinking of rolling my own damn font one day. I want clear, readable, and small in both dimensions!

[...] kvenu You may be satisfied working with Times New Roman, Georgia, Arial and Verdana fonts, but Programmers need more complex, fine and easily readable fonts to work with for all the codes they tweak for [...]

Check out my Envy Code R font - it's designed for 10 point but is properly scalable and takes advantage of ClearType. Includes italic, bold and a hack to let the italic work within Visual Studio. [)amien

Thanks Scrod. Well now you know I am not working in software development. ;-)

There is a simple test to determine who works in software development and who doesn’t. It’s in the use of the word “code” or “coding” to refer to writing software. Those who aren’t close to the industry have trouble with the usage of that word. One gives himself away usually with a usage like “all the codes they tweak.”

Code is never pluralized. It’s a dead giveaway to anywone who isn’t a programmer. You should say all the code they have to stare at. (”Tweaking code” is a bit weak too.)

[...] [via quickonlinetips] Siete stufi di programmare utilizzando i soliti Arial, Verdana, Times New Roman e quant’altro? Avete mai pensato che potrebbero esistere dei set di font pensati per la programmazione? Font che, pur rimanendo chiari, sono abbastanza piccoli per mostrare sezioni pi� ampie di codice su cui lavorare? Nell’articolo che ho citato � presente un’ampia lista di questi font freeware da poter scaricare ed utilizzare nei vostri ambienti di sviluppo. Tra quelli elencati mi sono piaciuti parecchio Dina e i vari Proggy. Molti della lista di quell’articolo sono a pagamento, quindi vedete voi. Io sono dell’opinione che esistano ottime soluzioni gratuite per quanto riguarda i font!
