#2Looks like there are some coders out there that actually know why having good typography is valid and don't just take whatever is out there as is usually the case.

I've lately been happy with Xubuntu's default monospaced font for the terminal. Should I not be?

#4I've been using this for a few months now; it's by far my favorite programming font. Every little detail is so finely crafted and well-proportioned. For example, with Monaco it always bothered me that / and \ were slightly taller, or that looked funny - in Anonymous Pro everything's just right.

#5I wonder how this stacks up with Microsoft's Consolas font. I've been using it as my default for a few years now.

#7Am I the only one who thinks that nothing comes close to Fixedsys (Excelsior) for programming?

#8Nice slashed zero, The letter 'l' nicely distinguishes from one, greek character support and bitmap support for those who hate anti-aliasing. Simply wonderful.

#9It took me years of programming (and even more years of being a computer user) to realize that it's worth choosing a programming font. It honestly hadn't occurred to me.
I've been using Monaco for a while, mostly because it's the "happiest" looking font I've found. Going to be giving this font a test drive now.

#10I've been using regular Anonymous for a while now. Now when I see it, I think "That looks like my code." The "0" character being slashed the normal way and staying inside the circle is a welcome change. If he was concerned with it looking too much like a Ø character, he could have used a dotted zero I suppose although these kinds of details are capable of spurring wars.
Anyway, it looks nice in everything I switched over... except Komodo Edit which renders the line heights wrong at pts lower than 14. I'm willing to blame that on the editor though.
Highly recommend it.
