Coding is easiest for most developers when using a fixed-width font. Here are some of the things I’m looking for in a font for coding: Most variable-width fonts are not suited for code because programming fonts have different requirements than text fonts. So I can’t really say anything about how these fonts look on Windows or Mac OS, let’s test by yourself but I guess it’s the same.
I’ve used Linux for 7 years, I take screenshot of each font in VIM with Full of Anti-aliasing.
Here is a list of my favorite programming fonts that I have tested. I felt in love with VIM after tried Emacs, GEdit, NetBean, Eclipse … but the next step to choose a good font that takes too much time than I expected. I’m using VIM as my default code editor, thankfully, I don’t take too much time to pick it. What’s best text editor (IDE)? What’s best programming font? What’s best code color scheme? I got them like you and I spent more than 1 years to choose and using Monaco as programing font but I’m still looking for better programing font than Monaco Are you a programmer? If yes, you had 3 questions with coding tools.
