I’m so picky a made an entire website about them ( https://www.programmingfonts.org/ ) … yet I’ve been using San Francisco Mono exclusively, basically since it was introduced in 20…

Ok, wow, why did I miss that. Thanks!

This is cool of course. But so was Rome. Which only existed for about two years. It’s one thing to build a cool tool, it’s something else entirely sustain one over time. I need a b…

Yes, I’ve seen a lot with old formats. I don’t think the bitmaps themselves are a problem, I already have a bunch (maybe they are faux bitmap though, not sure actually). And they d…

Sadly, Dina is only available as a Windows FON file format, which I can't use or host in a web app.

Indeed, just the free ones. Although perhaps I should list the commercial ones too in some way. That said, I do tend to feature them in the tumblr blog, so you can search that for …

What bitmap fonts do you miss? The site is currently restricted to fonts with a license that allow me to serve a web font for the live preview. So while there are a bunch of bitmap…

I think it too!

The problem here is that the information isn’t always available. If the docs don’t mention box drawing characters, or powerline symbols the font may still have them. Also, a lot of…

I have looked at it but have not found a suitable variant. All I find are commercial versions and “The fonts are not redistributable”. Honestly, I doubt bitmap versions are useful …

Well, there is no way to get a list of installed fonts via the browser, but I have thought about adding an input so you can try installed fonts. I just don't have enough time to ta…

Lots of old school fonts aren't available in a format that browsers understand. A TTF version of Terminus is in there though. IIRC there was something wrong with the Gohu font file…

Don’t get me started on target=“_blank” and UX ;)

You can uncheck the AA option on programmingfonts.org though. I need to make something to make fonts render at their “proper” size when needed...

They’re all mono though ;)

A font’s dimensions at a given “font-size” are actually completely up to the designer. Something like x-height can only be determined by rendering and then measuring. Editors tend …

Fonts with ligatures are indicated as such, but I’ve yet to add all the other metadata. I do have the data, just need ideas on how to surface it in the UI with too much clutter. I …

It probably would. Redistributing the font in another form is usually a violation. It’s also severely impractical ;)

Awesome feedback, thanks!

It's just a default set from some release of CodeMirror. I guess I should upgrade that..

Thanks! It's on my list to actually get https set up for it because originally GitHub pages didn't support that.

That's what I feature on the blog, but you'll notice the right-hand side of app.programmingfonts.org is interactive. That's kinda hard to do with static images ;)

Thanks!

Another thing I should integrate I guess. However, just as a general note, you can safely use every single font featured on app.programmingfonts.org for yourself.
