Anonymous, a fixed with sans designed especially for coders

Also free, and the one I have been using for years: Bitstream Vera Sans Mono ( http://www.bitstream.com/font_rendering/products/dev_fonts/v... )

[pierrefar → Luc]

I love the Bitstream Vera family. Of note, is that the letter proportions are such that you can set the font size a point or two smaller than other fonts and still keep great legibility.

You can also do that with Lucida.

Bitstream Vera Sans Mono is the default monospaced font in Ubuntu :)

Consolas is my fixed-width font of choice :-)

I like this Consolas-inspired one, Inconsolata (also available for Mac, etc.):

[zcrar70 → Gonsalu]

Aye.

I am surprised nobody talked about inconsolata in this thread yet. As for me, it's my font of choice (and a bit clearer to read than anonymous IMHO)

Same here: (set-default-font "-apple-inconsolata-medium-r-normal--16-0-72-72-m-0-iso10646-1")

PS: Am I the only one who tries to use M-Space to set the mark in Safari text areas, over and over again?

What's up with the "trademark" stuff all over that site? If I'm not mistaken, a general word like "anonymous" can't be trademarked. But maybe it's just to make it look more professional.

[eru → michelvh]

Depends. For example you can't trademark 'apple' for fruit. But you can trademark 'apple' for computers.

[YuriNiyazov]

I believe you meant fixed "width"

Envy Code R default for me...

That font looks horrible from 6pt upwards. I'll stick with triskweline, thank you.

[KevBurnsJr]

Installed. Much nicer than Courier New. Cheers :)
