Programming Fonts - Test drive all the programming fonts

(Tweaked) Verdana FTW.

I liked proportional fonts for reading code - several of my favorite programming books used proportional fonts for code examples - so when Verdana was released in 1996 I switched to using it in my IDEs. I’ve had 27 years of pleasantly ergonomic coding - it has a high x-height, different 0/O, I/l/1, and impeccable hinting and kerning. ❤️❤️❤️

Been font jumping for a long time. Consolas, Fira, SF Mono, Input, Source Code Pro, Iosevka… finally settled on Pragama Pro. The font is quite expensive, but really worth it imo. It’s even sharper and clearer on macOS.

www.programmingfonts.org/#anonymous-proIs what I use for terminal sessions. Not sure how I feel about it in an IDE. The color coding the most important part imo.

I was using Hack for a long time, but I think I'll try out Borg Sans Mono and Inconsolata for a bit

Iosevka is my personal favourite, but will need to spend some time scrolling through

Input if you want something a little wider

Less Perfect DOS VGA is what I use in my terminal on my desktop since I use the Chicago95 theme.

OpenTTD Mono is also cool, though. It almost gives Apple Chicago font vibes.

Inconsolata and Cascadia are the best.

I’m already using it when i need a different typeface. Krypton looks nice for AI suggestions.
