#92I quite like IBM Plex Mono as a programming font... https://github.com/IBM/plex would be nice if the page has a way of making suggestions of fonts to add.
I love Plex Mono also. It is on this site under Plex Mono although the info & download link is wrong.

#93This is awesome. Note to site owner; I'm getting "Mixed Content" warnings because some scripts are served over HTTP instead of HTTPS.
Thanks! It's on my list to actually get https set up for it because originally GitHub pages didn't support that.

#94Argh, why hijack my browser back button and history? :/
Otherwise, thanks for nice list to quickly compare those fonts :)

It get's even better with ligatures for common coding sequences https://github.com/vikky49/patchedFonts-Ligatures

#97I'm surprised that the list doesn't mention consolas. It ships default with visual studio and it's so good that I use it on arch Linux as my terminal font and with intellij. It was designed with programming in mind and has some nifty characteristics like a slash through zero. This list also misses out on 'operator mono' which is a well thought out font for programming.
Hi, I'm the author of programmingfonts.org. Operator Mono certainly is pretty. I always loved consolas on Windows (honestly, it's the only thing that rendered properly on Win7). That said, I can only include fonts that are freely available, or where the owner of the font allows me to (in the case of Input Mono). I have tried for a few others, but haven't been so lucky there. So, no proprietary or otherwise commercial…
Thanks very much for this, klageveen! I chose my default mono font the hard way and wish I'd known about your site back then.
Even so, comparing each font on your site affirmed my choice (Hack ftw). I'll be back, though, and will check out your blog in the mean time.

#98for bitmap fonts it should disable the resize option (or at least quantize it to the sizes where it makes sense)
Re: Programming Fonts – Test Drive
#99I don't own a Mac at the minute but I must say Monaco is hands down the best programming font I've worked with.
Most of the fonts on this list don't even come close.

#100Earlier quoted context omitted.
$60 for a font...? Is there something wrong with Hasklig, Fira Code, or Inconsolata?
There's nothing wrong with the original IBM VGA console font, for that matter. Font perception is a very subjective thing, though. Also, I think increase in screen resolution contributes somewhat. I find that I'm a lot pickier about fonts after getting a 4K display.
I use a reproduction of the IBM VGA console font called Nouveau IBM [1]. Very happy with it: https://i.imgur.com/cT0pCL4.png
