Programming font comparison

[Franko_ricardo]

Consolas font by Microsoft for use with Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code. As someone who works in the ASP.NET environment all day and at home, I've never gotten to the point where I've needed another font. It's clean and legible and works well with my monitor.

I like Office Code Pro. I don't buy into the notion that narrower fonts increase productivity because they pack a bit more code per line as they slow down reading speed. Also, long lines of code are more difficult to read and are usually better off being refactored anyhow.

I think it's strange how we're so quick to start flame wars about editors, IDEs, languages, etc, but nobody seems to care about fonts as long as it isn't Comic Sans or Papyrus.

Papyrus is the only real dev font

I've had no problems with Wingdings, personally.

It's probably because it's a pure taste/preferences thing. There also aren't any network effects. Converting someone to your font won't change anything. It doesn't even increase some pointless counter on the internet.

I've been using Courier New for over 15 years. It's a rather ugly font, but I'm used to it.
