I already use Inconsolata but had customized it to a point where I didn't recognize it here. It won anyway. Validation!
Also, about half of these fonts look utterly unsuitable for coding to me. Nobody really needs serifs and loopy l's in a coding font, surely?
I was pleased to find that I chose the font I actually use.
I'm using Liberation Mono, and it's missing :( i got PT Mono though.
Is it weird that I look at most of the offered pairs and think "meh, both are ok, I guess", but do not feel any preference one way or the other? Like, some fonts look to weird/unusual that I dislike. But most look just fine and I don't really care. Am I weird? Do I lack taste?
Seeing all the fonts listed here it would be great to be able to add user submissions into the mix.
A few years ago I found comic mono and monofur for Powerline. I switch between the 2 when I get bored of one or the other. I decided I won't try any new fonts, it's a waste of time for me and I hate having too many options to choose from, not only fonts but basically everything else too, it's distracting. Same for my editor's theme, I switch between Braver's Solarized Light and Radical. This way I can focus on coding…
> This way I can focus on coding and less on tweaking my environment. I made myself my own pixel-perfect perfect font, more than 10 years ago. I simply copy it from one system to the next one when I upgrade (either the machine or the OS). It's basically a modified pixel-perfect Terminus font, but with some elements mixed from an old pixel-perfect Monaco font and some modification of mine. Something I cannot live with…
> I don't believe in anti-aliasing for a coding font, not even on a retina display
This is a very good point. As resolution increases, antialiased fonts become less ugly, but also less necessary. Thus at no resolution they make any sense; but they look ridiculous for different reasons.
