I find this surprising, as I though Apple were very picking about their fonts. \u00a0Maybe they are. \u00a0But Monaco is hard on the eyes. \u00a0I&#8217;ve opened a couple of screen of ugly code and my eyes nearly bled from lack of space and the amount of curvy edges. \u00a0To each his own though.<\/li>\n<li>Microsoft&#8217;s Consolas is a good font and I remember trying it out before. \u00a0But given that it&#8217;s not that easy to find around and install, I decided to completely ignore it this time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>What&#8217;s your favorite font for programming?<\/p>\n<!-- google_ad_section_end -->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<!-- google_ad_section_start -->\n<p>Once a decade or so I get to review my Vim configuration, which also usually brings my attention to all the things surrounding &#8211; bash, terminal, etc. \u00a0This time around I wasn&#8217;t looking for anything in particular, but somehow I stumbled across the Top 10 Programming Fonts. \u00a0Of course, this one of those lists that &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/mamchenkov.net\/wordpress\/2012\/09\/17\/programming-fonts\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Programming fonts<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<!-- google_ad_section_end -->\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[1,6,18,133,62],"tags":[341,2297,3010],"keyring_services":[],"class_list":["post-16716","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-general","category-linux","category-programming","category-sysadmin","category-technology","tag-fonts","tag-text-editors","tag-typography"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO 4.9.10 - aioseo.com -->\n\t<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Once a decade or so I get to review my Vim configuration, which also usually brings my attention to all the things surrounding - bash, terminal, etc. This time around I wasn&#039;t looking for anything in particular, but somehow I stumbled across the Top 10 Programming Fonts.
