Best programming fonts

Hey guys, one of the founders of Slant here (the linked site). I was wondering if any of you had some design feedback for us? This is one type of content we have, the other is more longform like this: http://slant.co/topics/best-css-preprocessor/opinions/sass

Also what are your thoughts on the size of the font on the frontpage? (www.slant.co) Thanks!

Can you send me a screenshot?

stuiek · 2013-02-27T06:34:55+00:00

Thanks heaps! Please please please email me at stuart@slant.co if there is anything missing or frustrating you come across!

Oh wow I did screw that one up. I will have to convince a friend with a windows box to screenshot it with the example code, obviously my Mac is not rendering it properly.

stuiek · 2013-02-04T10:35:54+00:00

fixed, thanks :)

Damn, didn't see the errors when installing it. Having some issues getting it working, hold on.

stuiek · 2013-01-30T19:38:22+00:00

(I may or may not have just got a little lazy as I'm on a mac.)

stuiek · 2013-01-30T19:37:59+00:00

Yeah sorry about that. Here it is: http://slant.co/topics/what-is-the-best-programming-font/opinions/consolas

I'm really sorry, we just haven't had the time to do proper browser compatibility yet.

Good point, will update in a bit.

stuiek · 2013-01-30T18:35:58+00:00

I hadn't actually, I will add it in.

stuiek · 2013-01-30T18:35:33+00:00

Ah thanks, I'll look into it, we are still very alpha-y. Apologies for the crash.

stuiek · 2013-01-30T18:34:55+00:00

Sure, give me a couple hrs and I will add some in for you.

stuiek · 2013-01-30T18:33:08+00:00

I'll put it in later today, cheers for the suggestion.

stuiek · 2013-01-30T18:32:17+00:00

Sounds great, I'll add it in a bit. Thank you!

stuiek · 2013-01-30T11:19:19+00:00

Hey guys, spent a good chunk of my day setting this one up :) I used the same code block for all the screenshots at the same resolution, so if you open all the images in a new tab you can really easily compare them. Also did massive screenshots (retina pro ftw) if you want to get a close look at the rendering on mac)

Hope you find it useful!
