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.

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: =~

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?

I take this as confirmation of my choice- Consolas. 2nd favorite by a close margin, and it's usually already installed!

I use Linux and install always Consolas. Programmers designing fonts is cute but it's not good idea. Lucas de Groot knew what he was doing.
