"Appropriate" reward would be the reward the market decides you get, not what you hope for.
I seen. Pragmata is a "bestseller" in piracy market...

The most expensive coding font for free?

This is obviously personal preference and opinion and all of that, but that's the whole point of discussion, so: if (something) { something(); } else { something_else(); } vs. if (something) { something(); } else { something_else(); } To me, the first one is chaotic. It's not so bad like that, but throw in a loop (as well as the external function declaration) and it's a complete mess. The second one is orderly. Block…
I feel perhaps you are missing my point -- you are talking about block separation and vertical space, I am talking about grouping of logical units. I agree with your points for functions, (most)loops, switches, and so in, but for if/else try/catch/finally do/while an other multiblock statements, I think it helps to have some convention to group them, other than indent level. The blocks depend on each other, not just…
I use a newline and (sometimes) comments for that, so for example two unrelated if statements will have a blank line and some sort of comment between them.
I think it would be really interesting to see how people's code style preferences translated to how they design things (or prefer designs). I like minimalism and lots of whitespace in designs, and it definitely translates to how I best read code.

#74Having both Latin and Cyrillic scripts done well in a single monospace font is extremely rare. Even Ubunto Mono (which is brand-new and still in active development) is having trouble, and they're professionals who take suggestions from users very seriously. e.g. http://blog.cosmix.org/2011/10/04/ubuntu-mono-the-gamma-trav... . No one has said publicly how much Canonical is paying Dalton Maag to make the Ubuntu font f…
FINALLY! A person that arrived to the heart of the problem! I gave my best effort to achieve the perfect balance of symbols, letters Western, Cyrillic, Greek. And someone has noticed! I tried financiers from Google, Canonical, Apple, IBM, SAS, Microsoft and many other companies with computer connection without success, knowing that these companies have funded other projects of the same caliber of PragmataPro. I keep…

Perhaps if your campaign page had some verbiage about this font's special features and how it is really different than others, it would help more people to notice?

wait... what wrong with "} else {" ? It provides a simple and easy grouping of blocks.

I always write "int* foo", so you're not alone. I also prefer
{
else
}

I'll do it. Thanks for this idea

Dude, you are distrustful... it's not the case: I'm at the 50% of the work with PragmataPro, anyone can realize it just by looking at the screenshots. If I wanted to escape with the loot I would not be so stupid to draw about 1600 glyphs spending 3 years of my life. Revenue from sales of licenses are not sufficient to cover even 10% of the time I used to arrive here. Then came the piracy that has stopped the sales. M…

OK, I'll bite. In this instance, how is the "market" not deciding what he gets?
Re: The most expensive coding font for free?
#79Let's delay arguments about whether one should change fonts or not [0] and think about crowdfunding applied to design work. We should be more interested in whether this will work, and why or why not. Last summer, Hyperakt [1] crowd-funded a beautiful radial depiction of the 2010 World Cup brackets [2]. I paid $25 for a great poster [3], and now Deroy has a new fan. That project worked for the same reason all Kickstar…

I mentioned you offer of a discounted license for all contributors if the font isn't open-sourced, and that offer is explicitly stated on the project page. I'm not doubting your trustworthiness at all!
I believe I've been fair in evaluating your decision to sell on IndieGogo instead of Kickstarter. At the same time, you're going to need 22,000 contributions of $10 to open-source your font. That's a non-trivial number, but you're guaranteed to earn money for your hard work because you posted on IndieGogo.
I wish you the best of luck! I can't afford to help you out, but I'd like to analyze your choice of marketplace so other designers can follow your example.

You can't just hand-wave away market inefficiencies here. The man's fonts are being pirated--does that mean they have an intrinsic value of $0?
