Since everyone's mentioning their favourite code fonts -- any love for Ubuntu Mono? I know it's not trendy to like the OS default as a non-Apple user but I find myself always coming back to it when I see it in comparisons.
I'm slightly surprised that almost nobody here uses Menlo or Monaco, even though several screenshots in the thread are clearly made on OS X. I'm curious why that's the case. Do people generally dislike the system-provided fonts or are the alternatives considered "better"?
Nothing beats the lowercase "a" in Monaco.
I feel like it has a bit of whimsy that other fixed with fonts don't have. It's not stuffy or pretentious. None of the bowls are circular or ovular (except for the "o") all of the ASCII range characters are distinct. It looks great in its bitmap or anti-aliased vector versions.
I desperately want to find a new code font to love but I always return to Consolas.
I've tried them all, Consolas included, and nothing even comes close to Dina - http://www.donationcoder.com/Software/Jibz/Dina/index.html † That's for Windows, not Macs.
It's TTF in name only; at the right size, it's hinted so that it works just like a bitmap font. It doesn't scale.
I use it for all my terminals and IDEs on all platforms.

From what I can gather this font is almost identical to Ubuntu Mono.
try Droid Sans Mono
Pragmatapro is my fav http://www.fsd.it/fonts/pragmatapro.htm (since everyone is posting theirs).

Why do w, x, v, y look darker than the other letters there? Why are the S, z and g missing part in the center?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
On my Mac, Hack has increased leading (space between lines) which makes it more readable. Quite a bit more IMO. I'm curious why your screen shots show identical leading.
Compared to Fira or compared to Hack rendered on my system? Are you using Atom/WebKit too? Same font size?
