8 fonts for developers you’ve probably never heard before
August 12th, 2009 - Design, Typography
When you are in front of the screen for more than 10 hours a day writing code, it’s crucial to select a proper font for your editor. In my opinion it should always be monospaced and clear enough to avoid headaches. In this post you will find 8 not so famous fonts that you could use and most of them are available only for Windows. Mac users enjoy by default really nice fonts (Monaco, Inconsolata, Panic Sans etc) so there’s no need to bother anyway :)

The font itself doesn’t really matter to me, as long as it’s easily legible. What I’ve found influences the legibility, at least when reading for prolonged periods, is anti-aliasing (which your screenshots lack).

Can’t work with anti-aliasing on. Really. I’m just used to it.

My code font of choice is the one Espresso ships with, Espresso Mono, anti-alias on.
Easy on the eyes, not too much circl-y, clean ‘n’ clear.

Nice collection of fonts, but I prefer smoothansi font over any other. Take a look on it: http://bit.ly/OdAY5
Its main disadvantage however is that it doesn’t fully support my codepage (iso8859-2), but I don’t need my national letters when coding.

@antek: looks good, yeah same here, some fonts don’t include Greek characters but that’s ok.
@sugarenia: looks good. Although i saw another one called “Monaco” which seems really nice as well

I’m a fan of the Proggie Programming Fonts myself:

I particularly like Proggie Clean Slashed Zero Bold Func.
Dispite that, I’m currently using DejaVu Sans Mono for its Unicode support. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DejaVu_fonts

I tend to like using Geneva 14pt – never really saw the point in straining my eyes for the sake of looking smart. Great list tho!

I recently became a fan of Menlo, which is the new default monospaced font in Snow Leopard. I use it all the time now in Eclipse IDE, and it looks great.
Just wondering, what is the font in the first screenshot before the list of fonts?
