What's your current favorite programming font?

Started as a joke, ended as a preference: https://github.com/dtinth/comic-mono-font

Inconsolata is my programming font.

Also! This game was mentioned recently here to help the undecided or those looking for something new: https://www.codingfont.com/

I'm partial to bitmap (or bitmap-like) fonts, esp. those derived from computers I once had or aspired to have. Current favorites are the Tandy2K font from the Ultimate PC Font Pack, the Atari ST 8X16 font, and Amiga Topaz (all variants).

For graphical Emacs, Iosevka.

In order of preference/reverse chronological order - all patched w/ NerdFont:

- Fira Code Mono

- Inconsolata (This is basically Consolas w/ a permissive license and slightly different spacing)

- Consolas (MS Font so not free per se but easy enough to find floating around)

Hack:

https://sourcefoundry.org/hack/

JetBrains Mono. Previously <=Fira Code <= Fantasque Sans Mono <= Source Code Pro

When I don't have access to these, Dejavu Sans Mono or Ubuntu Mono

Fantasque Sans Mono [0] for vector font, and Cozette [1] for bitmap font.

It’s an oldie but goodie, and still my favorite after trying many different programming typefaces: Adobe Source Code Pro.

PragmataPro it is paid but it has been great.

Always, always, always link to things.

SF Mono (https://developer.apple.com/fonts/)

Try Isoveka: https://github.com/be5invis/Iosevka It allows you to see more. Everything suddenly starts making sense and every other fonts will feel ..... different .....

Iosevka is my go-to font. I also really like its quasi-proportional style for regular text editing.

The Go Programming Language's monospaced TrueType font:

https://go.dev/blog/go-fonts

Best font I've ever used, by a mile.

Recursive Sans Mono, casual or semicasual: https://github.com/arrowtype/recursive

JetBrains Mono

Input - https://input.djr.com/ I use the narrow proportional variant, except when code in Go.

Dank Mono: https://philpl.gumroad.com/l/dank-mono

Totally worth the $40.

Fira Code iScript

Consolas

I don't know why Microsoft doesn't ship it with Visual Studio Code on all platforms, but on macOS I get it by installing an Office product.

If you use a language that has a bunch of unicode (especially Julia), JuliaMono is really good. It does a lot of very nice symbol alignment.

I've used Code New Roman for a while now, though I'm unironically looking at that Comic Mono now...

SF Mono even on non Apple machines. I use the Powerline versions do I can use fancy terminals.

Fira Code with ligatures enabled. Mostly because I still like ligatures?

I switch between Fira Code, mononoki and Cascadia Code

It's non-free, but I really love Operator Mono.

SourceCodePro FiraCode Inconsolata, in that order

Monaco, Visual Studio Code's default font.
