The Typography of Code

Despite it being a MSFT product, my favorite fixed-width type is Consolas when coding on a PC.

I've been using some of the proggy fonts[1] for some time now. Nowadays I use the Proggy Square font with bold punctuation, which looks great.

I've started using Inconsolata, which is both free and pretty nice. (It has particularly nice parentheses, which I appreciate as a Lisp programmer.)

I use DejaVu Sans Mono, which is more or less the same as Bitstream Vera Sans Mono.

The code samples identify themselves as PHP, but they appear to be Python.
