Here's a good comparison (and vote) of programming fonts: http://www.slant.co/topics/67/~what-are-the-best-programming... Most popular: Source Code Pro http://blogs.adobe.com/typblography/2012/09/source-code-pro.... Monaco, my favorite, comes at #3.

I was wondering why the MonoFur example was in italics, then I tried it out in Sublime - for some reason it uses the Italic version as if it is the regular version, and I haven't found a way of fixing that. Does anyone have any suggestions?

This is the second "coders' font" to hit HN today. Personally, I like the font. And its license.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I like Source Code Pro, but it lacks italics. That's really the only downside to me. I love Monaco also, but only unaliased at about 10pt. Otherwise, I use Menlo or DejaVu Sans Mono usually. I've known about Anonymous Pro, but have not given it much usage yet to decide if I like it more than others.

Strange, I'm seeing italics in Sublime Text 3 for Source Code Pro. You're right that the font seems to lack italics, anyone know whether this is just Sublime faking it?
