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?
You could try uninstalling the italic version of the font.
Still, I wonder if the bug is with Sublime or the font (since other fonts don't seem to have this problem).
In that image there are a lot of important glyphs that cannot be seen, for example: ()[]/*|!
I haven't tried out the font, so I can't give much feedback on it, but it seems nice so far (although the '1' looks a little bit weird. I get why, but it still feels off to me)
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 take this as confirmation of my choice- Consolas. 2nd favorite by a close margin, and it's usually already installed!
Programmers designing fonts is cute but it's not good idea. Lucas de Groot knew what he was doing.
There was a good write up on HN a while back about this font, including a republished version called Nameless Amateur which fixes the positioning of the forward slash. See http://1overn.com/2011/02/02/tweaking-my-favorite-programmin...
Only Bill Gates was dumb enough to default to a backslash.

My favorite is Inconsolata-g, looks sharp for programming http://www.slant.co/topics/67/viewpoints/6/~what-are-the-bes...

Argh, why does no one include a tilde in the sample? A raised tilde ruins a font for me because of the ruby match operator: =~
Can a vim nerd respond with how to display-time-remap a normal tilde to another unicode codepoint? There are at least four tilde-like glyphs that may be cast by any middling magician of the Unicode elements: ~⁓〜˜
back to lucida console for me, which is perfectly legible at size 6 or 7... :/
This is the second "coders' font" to hit HN today. Personally, I like the font. And its license.
So I'm not the only one that is irked by the term "coders" or the even sillier "I wrote a code".
the one i find confusing is 'developer' its vague and pretentious vs. 'programmer' my preferred term - its precisely descriptive, a quality which i would expect programmers to cherish
