Top 10 Programming Fonts
Top 10 Programming Fonts
Must try list for hardcore programmers. The font is the most important of a programmer's life and the guy over at HiveLogic came up with an amazing list of fonts descending their geekness. Although this list is based according to the preferences of most of the programmers (or so I think), some may not like it (if you don't, please don't piss me off).
10. Courier
9. Andale Mono
8. Monaco
7. Profont
6. Monofur
5. Proggy
4. Droid Sans Mono
3. Deja Vu Sans Mono
2. Consolas
1. Inconsolata

Re: Top 10 Programming Fonts
+1 for droid sans mono and anadale mono.
who the heck would use a font as ugly as monofur and monaco? those two are suited more for typography rather than programming.

Re: Top 10 Programming Fonts
I think Deja Vu Sans Mono is the font we see in Ubuntu(Maybe, not sure).
Andale Mono looks nice.

Re: Top 10 Programming Fonts
Should have been posted in Programming section. 
I like the default Mono font in Ubuntu. Clear and clean.

Re: Top 10 Programming Fonts
Nice collection of fonts. TFS.
But I don't think the article does justice with the words, "ascending their geekness". 
So I made my own list, of Top 4 Programming Fonts in increasing order of their Geekiness...

Re: Top 10 Programming Fonts
^^ Thanks. But I really like "Calibri" also, too much, the default font of Windows 7 text editors. And MS-Office of 2007 onwards.

Re: Top 10 Programming Fonts
^Changed ascending to descending. I've always been confused between the two.

Calibri rocks as a document font but it is Sans-Serif which always suck for programming.
And can you put the pics in [SPOILER] tags. Thanks.

Monospaced fonts are not exactly suitable for documents are they? However with their equal width quality they are perfect for programming.
