Programmers, it seems, are always looking for the perfect programming font. Years ago, I settled on Inconsolata and haven’t looked back. A lot of that is probably laziness: it can be a pain to track down fonts to see what they look like.
Now there’s a handy way to try out a bunch of programmer fonts and download them if you like what you see. Over at programmingfonts.org they have a nifty page that lets you test drive 50 programming fonts. You can even type in your own code, if you like. Each font has a link to further information and a download page. It’s a nice resource and easy to use.
UPDATE: Reformat to eliminate line breaks.
