    What font do you prefer when programming?

    Hi all,

    Just a fun question: What font do you prefer in your IDE when staring at code?

    I found the Proggy fonts and am partial to ProggyClean at the moment.

    You?

    I actually read that one and thought it was just for UI fonts. Missed the couple of posts on the code fonts.

    Thanks.

    nmadd - do you have a link for these proggy fonts - they sound interesting.

    edit: Scrub that question - Google found them for me.

    I use MS Sans Serif 10 as my code font. I love it; proportional spaced fonts shrink the code quite a bit, fitting much more in any given code window.

    I've never tried a non-fixed with font because I just didn't think it was "done that way." I'll give the others a try.
