Fav font

Hello there, I was wondering what`s your favourite font for coding.

Mind would be Consolas as it is thin, and readable which means you can fit more onto the screen.

I use the one that is default with Code::Blocks , Ubuntu Mono for vim , or some times Source Code Pro with gVim

Consolas on Windows.
Bitstream Vera Sans Mono ("Monospace") on Linux.

Back in the day I used to use Fixedsys on Windows.
It's decent but you'll have to disable bold and italic decorations, otherwise it gets yucky.

For me, the first test of any font for coding is how well it distinguishes between the characters 1lIO0, along with overall legibility. I don't give too much regard to how pretty or pleasant it is, though personal preference does come into play here.

I've always favoured Lucida Console on Windows, now mainly out of habit.

@a k n The one that comes with Code::blocks, is consolas :).

@Catfish Im going to check the others out, and I never really use bold and italic unless.
@Chervil that is a great way to test it out :)

Whichever one comes with the Visual Studio 2013 IDE.

I loved consolas on windows, but apparently it's proprietary... I use Inconsolata (the closest approximation, and a very nice one) on Linux for everything (I made it my system default). Inconsolata is nice. I believe it was actually created for programming with.

It really sucks when a font gives you a barcode when you have character sequences like this: Il|1

or you can't tell the difference between a O0 in a font...
