I like Space Mono, but can't tell the comma from a period at the point size I would use.

My favorite all-time font for programming was the Ohlfs font (named for it's creator, Keith Ohlfs, who recently passed away at age 52 ) that was part of the NeXTStep OS. I'm currently using Menlo, which isn't too bad.

...on Mac, Consolas on Winders
Java, Basic, who cares - it's all a bunch of tree-hugging hippy cr*p

I'd never even thought about it either (turns out to be Consolas for VS and Courier for SSMS, by the way).
Whilst looking, though, I did come across a font that I hadn't previously heard of called Elephant. I wonder if it was created by a mischievous CP regular.
Slogans aren't solutions.

Now I have to sit and test every one of these fonts. Thanks for wasting my day!
In the end I'll likely keep the default anyway.

Yeah, I am doing the same thing, found a few new ones. LOL.

I find proportional easier to read, and MS Reference Sans is unambiguous for all the commonly-confused chars.
Why must everyone use mono-spaced fonts? The IDE can handle proportional, the whitespace indentations are fixed, you get better use of your screen real-estate without squishing "M" and "W" past all recognition, and it's just prettier. It's 2016. Free your mind.

Not until I came upon this poll did I really care about what font my IDEs were using.
When I code HTML/PHP I use NetBeans and I went through the font listed in the poll, well those I have available, and found I prefer Consolas... lol
Goes to show that you never know what you're missing until you try it... lol

I like this font a lot. That is one of the first things I install on a new (Windows) PC and use it for Visual Studio and shell.

A _proportional_ font for programming?
Ymbk.

Don't let the word "Courier" through you off.
Clean, and unlike it's near-namesake, rather easy on the eyes.
Not decorative and basically sans-serif, excepting a few chars that make sense( 'I', i, 'l'

I agree, your "courier" is nice. But look at Source Code Pro - it's very close, but letters are bit higher and easier to read.

I'll probably give it a test drive.
One criteria that I often don't think of directly is viewing a decent number of lines concurrently without too small a font. I'm wondering if the height difference will make a difference once I scale to my comfort size. Could go either way.
FontSquirrel sure has a lot of versions of it!

Unfortunately there is "health minimum" for font size. If you don't wanna be Harry Potter, better set "normal" size and buy more LCD inches. Currently I have 32" in portrait mode - it's a really huge amount of lines!

Hack and VeraMono are now crystal clear to me with MacType.
BTW, I hate ClearType.
