Best font for programming?

[Lost User]

Been switching/trying fonts for some time, and am currently using Courier New. ..but I'll quickly switch back to Comic Sans if I have to pair-program again :thumbsup:

I've tried several and yet I still find myself using Consolas on Windows and right now Inconsolata on a Mac. I'd be curious to know, of a Consolas replacement for VS. Try as I may, over the years, I have found very few fonts living up to it.

Odd, I tried it and didn't like it as much. Might be worth revisiting.

I use Inconsolata on a Mac for Sublime text and so far I find it to be a very useful replacement for Consolas in the Mac world.

Anything fixed width is fine by me. Seems Visual Studio uses Consolas out of the box, and I've never had a reason to seek out something else. I actually prefer fixed width fonts everywhere. They just feel so much more... Organized... The very first thing I do to a fresh install of Outlook is change the font to Courier New. :-D

Don't worry; they're not totally incompetent. Their spam servers work perfectly.

I'm not finicky about it; I just use the built-in Lucida Console.

I've been using Andale Mono for quite a while now, 10 years mebbe. Never liked Consolas and switch to Courier if Andale isn't available.

This isn't a recommendation (more of a warning), but I know a guy who uses COMIC SANS as his coding font (and writing font). Yes, Comic Sans. The guy is a sadist.

What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question? The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism. Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

I ended up settling on Hack. Works great on a high-res screen and (imo) is the easiest on the eyes for long coding sessions.
