Poll: What is your favorite programming font?

I do agree. The aspect ratio is perfect, and it's very readable for its size.

I've used the same version of 6x13 on Windows (http://www.hassings.dk/lars/fonts.html) since forever, pretty much, and before that I used some other version of 6x13. Today, 15 years since I first set eyes on it, it's still my console font and my emacs font.

Unfortunately, modern versions of Visual Studio don't support bitmap fonts, so for that I've had to change to 9 point MS Gothic. This has one unusual feature ('\' appears as a yen symbol, since it's a Japanese font), and the descenders are rather short (presumably Japanese readers are differently sensitive to this stuff), but it's tall like 6x13, pixel-perfect at 9 point size, and perfectly serviceable for programming work.

(There's also a serif equivalent, MS Mincho, which is usable but a bit fussy for my taste. 8 point Gungsuh Che and Gulim Che are also workable, but I found them a bit fussy too. I think they are Korean or Chinese.)

Voting is about choosing the "least worse" candidate, not the best one for the job. Choosing nothing is not a choice. But choosing between 2 parties is not a choice either.

Pragmata non-Pro.

I loved the xterm "huge" font, simple and clear, great for high DPI displays. Windows Fixedsys is a passable replacement for low DPI displays.

I used Consolas a lot, but eventually switched to fixed. Fixed just lets me pack a lot more text on my screen, which is very important for my functions.
