This is just about the perfect font for anything that isn't word processing
Why are you using anything else?
Inconsolata is far better fám
because Source Sans Pro, Source Serif Pro, and Source Code Pro are all better for their specific applications (and in general, but I'd only make this point to a retarded zealot who thinks Consolas is the end-all-be-all of fonts).
>>52988448
>calling others retarded when your tastes are this bad
You're literally dumb
dropped
>>52988472
Your taste might differ. Thinking a single font is optimal for all uses makes you retarded, which has nothing to do with good or bad taste.
You might think I have bad taste, but confusing that for intelligence is maybe as dumb as the OP's error.
>>52988521
this
>O and 0 only differ by width
>calling it perfect
tell me it's your favorite and i'll respectfully recommend you give other fonts a shot, but call it perfect and we'll insist you trip so we can disregard the rest of the shit you post without having to read the whole thing.

>optimal for all uses
>"This is just about the perfect font for anything that isn't word processing"
You're an idiot
>>52988433
menlo, and possibly fira mono are better.
source code pro is great for presenting code, but looks horrible in a mac os x terminal window.
Bitchez plz.
Tru h4x0rz l33t only in M$ W0rd, EOT.

Because I like Fira Mono more, anon.
I like Pragmata Pro

Wow that's some quality autism right there.
Nigger, we're discussing the use of a paid font, which you either need to buy or pirate *to use*. Do you follow the conversation now?
>>52989204
Everything here is discretionary. You could use whatever the operating system offered and get by. You don't have to do anything. If you want the font, you can pirate it or you can pay for it.
I don't *have to* pirate my fonts. I just want this font and I don't want to pay for it. If I didn't want it badly enough, I wouldn't pirate it.
Do you not appreciate the difference between wanting something and having to do something? Does it amuse you to call other people autistic when the truth is you don't understand subtle cues like this?

The difference between '.' and ',' is too subtle.
What's with these threads on UI preferences on a technology board?
Since when are UI or font preferences a technology topic?
Why do mods allow these threads?

There is a graphic design board, you know?
>>52989578
you think fonts are only about aesthetics? wew
>>52988521
but the 0 in consolas has a dash
>>52988433
Fixedsys Excelsior is better.
The best font is Dyslexia
>>52988802
What editor is this? Also, font looks nice
>>52988802
What color scheme is that?
>>52989233
lolwat, are you kidding?
Even the most expensive typefaces on Earth can be found for free on the internet. I "pirate" all of my typefaces to test them out before paying for a license, it would be irresponsible to assume that waterfall previews on font websites are enough to convince a business to spend a few hundred on a typeface, if you think people in the industry buy a typeface before analyzing it properly you're sadly mistaken.
>>52989603
>Discussion about font preference
How is this a thread on technology?
I don't see anyone discussing vectors or how fonts are made. It's just a discussion on aesthetics.

that's not bad, better than other low-ish res fonts
I've been trying out this font called Dina, not to bad.
>>52989862
Usability is not aesthetics. There are a number of characters that can look similar but have dramatic affects on code. This is really the only thing I care about when finding a font. Take a peek:
1lI|
0O
5S
ij
that first line is one, lowercase L, capital i, and pipe. 100% fucking useless font. Here's a screenshot in case you font differs.

Inconsolata for terminal, Dejavu sans for everything else.
Source Code Pro all the way. I used Consolas (and Inconsolata) for a while but the fuckhuge parentheses that hung way below the line annoyed me. And I didn't like how all the punctuation in Bitstream Vera-based ones, DejaVu, Menlo, etc. was very squared off. But hey, any of them are perfectly usable programming fonts.
>>52988521
That's not Consolas though

maybe if serif fonts weren't so shit it wouldn't be necessary.
>>52989114
ooh, that is nice.
the bold version looks like generic ass, though

To be fair, windows does font rendering in the kernel
Not even a amerifat, but pic related is quite nice.
