I decided to revisit my choice of programming fonts recently, mostly inspired by this article.
After trying the various fonts in this article, I narrowed down my choices to Consolas and Inconsolata. Here is what they look like:
Consolas 12 | Inconsolata 12 |
---|---|
![]() | ![]() |
Inconsolata 13 |
---|
![]() |
They all look great in Eclipse. The Inconsolata font is freely available but Consolas is a bit more tricky to obtain on Mac since it’s a font created by Microsoft and usually shipped with Microsoft products. Here are instructions how to install it on your Mac.
Any other suggestions for good programming fonts?
