The most popular coding fonts

I finally got around to paying for Sublime Text last week, and to celebrate I thought I’d look for a monospace font with loop-tailed ‘g’ glyphs… And I discovered Source Code Pro. I’ve been using it for the past week and frankly I love it. Sometimes I open the text editor just to admire it. Well, not quite, but I’ve been tempted.

Also in the loop-tailed-g family is Inconsolata. A very pretty font, but I’m finding the horizontal spacing of Source Code Pro to be really refreshing after years of using Bitstream Vera Sans. So I’m using Inconsolata in terminal windows, and editing with Source Code Pro.

Great topic, looking forward to reading more comments.
