#12The font looks good. But does it really solve a problem most people need solved? I don't remember last time I though "Hmm, if only I had a better font, I would work so much faster/better...". I did think that when using Linux 10 years ago when my fonts were blurry and fuzzy but not now. Another way to put it, even if that font was available for free now I don't know I'd bother installing it just because ... there is…
Remember that most of the time, people don't know what they want until they see it.

#1343% in Italian taxes? That kind of sucks. He needs an accountant to give advice about (legally) reducing the tax burden to something more reasonable.
People engaging in tax avoidance in Italy and Greece are one of the reasons why these countries are balls deep in financial problems at the moment.
I saw a stat the other day that stated there were more Porsches in Greece than people declaring they earn enough to actually afford to buy them (by a significant amount)

#14$20
RAISED OF $220,000 GOAL
Yeah, I think I'm going to pass on this one.

Yeah, I have tested this hypothesis on myself. I have tried lots of fonts touted as the best for programming and found exactly zero difference. Time wasted, chalked up to experience.
I think that anyone considering a donation should at least try the freely available fonts to see whether they make any difference.

#164 years and over 200k dollars seems like quite a bit. I understand being meticulous, but this is a bit absurd.
That's less than $ 25,000 / year, or around $ 120 / day. I don't think you can find a decent designer for $ 120 / day.

If he got $ 200,000, he should create a company that would receive the money, that would make much more sense.

#18I downloaded the screenshots of this font and have to admit I wish I could use it right now. Looks pretty good to me. That said, the monetary goal seems a bit lofty considering how many people this would really solve a need for.
Still, if the fundraising were arranged on something like kickstarter where I'd get my donation back if it fails to reach the goal I'd kick in a bit. Not terribly interested in a discount on the other license.

#19There are just so many wonderful monospace fonts already out there that either come with your OS (Monaco, Consolas, Ubuntu Mono) or are free that I don't know why I should bother. People still pay for fonts instead of downloading cheap knockoffs because of ligatures, a wide amount of characters and meticulous kerning. All things that a monospaced font doesn't need. The one thing this font seems to add is that it is s…
True. There are a lot good monospaced font but it's impossible for me working at screen with these cool fonts for this I designed PragmataPro. Tastes are tastes.
All the glyphs of PragmataPro are designed under suggestions of programmers. In the set there are many glyphs ignored by other monospaced font designers, because I designed this font with programmers for programmers.
PragmataPro are designed to work with and without antilaliasing. And it works

Huge numbers of people engaging in tax avoidance in Italy and Greece is primarily the result of of a broken tax system.
