LOL, looks like crap. Bitstream Vera Mono FTW!
- dhotson 18y agoI used to love Bitstream Vera Mono. It's pretty nice. Although, recently I've switched to Liberation Mono as my monospace weapon of choice.. I'd certainly recommend it.
- scott_s 18y agoI use Liberation Mono on Linux, but Consolas on Windows. I've found that the different platforms don't display each other's fonts as nicely.
- henning 18y agoIn the past when the only displays I had access to were relatively low-res (1280x1024) I used ProFont a lot. It's a good font, didn't become bothersome after hours of Emacs work. But, I use Consolas now on Windows.
- ajross 18y agoAgreed, I don't know what the author is smoking. But then, there's no accounting for taste. I also use Vera Mono in emacs, and like it a lot. I really feel for the poor folks still using courier (which-way-does-that-quote-go-and-is-that-a-curly-or-paren?) as a code font. To be fair, though, the linked font is a bitmap, not a vector font. So maybe a better comparison might be to the X11 9x15 or 10x20 fonts, both of which I spent years staring at and like very much.
