Why author choose to make it look like this? For instance, I prefer Menlo font and find it much better looking than Hermit.
Tried others (including this one), but keep coming back to it. I have it set to 14pt in Sublime Text.
Looks horrendous according to the sample images.
All that to say, Adobe's Source Code Pro could also be called a font for programmers, by programmers.
Tip for the one who created that font, display the font samples in an image or sample text immediately. All I care about is the looks. Did not immediately see where I could see an example so I just moved on to writing this feedback comment, and now I'm done with this post. Next!
Having said that, I applaud a developer committed enough to make "the perfect editor font" just as much as I applaud those who, via their config scripts and plugins, shape vim or emacs into their own perfect text editors.
Also, he managed to make his font work on WIndows. I never did it with mine (https://github.com/rbanffy/3270font)

Point is: the very first thing anyone going to that page to see that font is going to want to see is that font. Most are going to expect the text of the page in that font, or at least a suitable sample first. As is, the text seen is in some non-standard (AFAIK) font which piques interest as the reader studies its subtleties, wondering how code would look in it ... then after a nontrivial time reading, discovered the links to samples, and is startled to see something completely different (and, IMHO, kinda "squashed").
A newspaper doesn't put the #1 headline on a page referenced below-the-fold.

No, you literally have to scroll down to the "below-the-fold" Samples section, read the terse description, and click in and out of several links to see samples.
