Hi all
I got so tired of the "normal" programming fonts that I did some research.
The new font from MS for the purpose is Consolas, but it is too tight.
Here's a great source on monospaced fonts for programming:
http://cg.scs.carleton.ca/~luc/mono.html
It also has a link for this site:
http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?GoodProgrammerTypeface
where I located this quite good font:
http://www.ms-studio.com/FontSales/anonymous.html
Also, the SaxMono and Verily and Share-Tech font here:
http://www.dafont.com/theme.php?cat=503
I stopped at Dutchfonts - the page is huge and several links are broken.
After all I ended up with Lucida Console which still is the best due to the readability of this test:
1. Number 1, lowercase L, lower/uppercase I:
1lIi
2. Zero, uppercase O, uppercase slashed O:
0OØ
3. The four sets of brackets etc:
<{[()]}>
4. Quote combo:
''""'"'"
Other suggestions?
