Hrm, the images on the site look fuzzy, could not stand to look at that for long. The font is also a bit too…expressive? The round shapes are very prominent. There seems to be some disproportion to some letters which makes text look uneven to my eyes.

I use SGIscreen at 13px, no antialias.

Edit: not the best showcase but here is an old screenshot: http://files.kittensoft.org/vim_ruby.png




Am I the only person to set a 20px+ programming font? I have pretty good sight, but with a widescreen-ish macbook, you can easily get 120 chars in a window at that size and it's much easier to scan code.


I have a 17" MBP and a 30" LCD and I happily use an 11px font (Monaco or Manlo). 20px would seem silly to me, no offense. I have room for 120 chars, 120 lines, and plenty of space for tech design docs, API guides, terminals, etc....
