Monospace fonts
2009 May 18
I’ve been a longtime user of the Monaco font for my monospaced work (like I use in TextMate to compose these blog posts). While perusing my daily news, I stumbled across this article about programming fonts and found Consolas. It’s a slightly different monospace (I know this will annoy fontheads, but how different can monospace fonts really be?) that is a bit cleaner than Monaco.
Then I got to the writer’s Number 1 choice and will follow his lead by installing Inconsolata. A very tidy monospace that I’ll be updating all of my monospace spaces with (Mail, terminal, and my wonderful TextMate).

That’s all really. Just font talk. Nothing more to see here.
