Coding font

[Najdorf]

What font you use for coding? Anti-aliased or not?

I'm trying Monaco 12 not anti-aliased at the moment, it looks good i think...

As far as color, white on dark blue :)

monaco 11 antialiased

light grey background, black text

Depends on the app. I was a Monaco 10 lover, but it's starting to get small. Size 11 I think is ok, but I can't get it aliased, so I have 11 anti-aliased in TM and AE, but in Xcode it's still 10 aliased.

Monaco 10, not antialiased, black on white.

[ThemsAllTook]

Monaco 9, black on white, no anti-aliasing.

On Windows, Courier 12.

Bitstream Vera Sans Mono, 9, antialiased.
Monaco 9 aliased for the terminal though.

Monaco 10 black on white antialiased -- I'm pretty sure it's just the Xcode default.

[Fenris]

Monaco 11, black on white with antialiasing.

[Blacktiger]

Marker Felt! Ok, not really... I use monaco 10 because it's the xcode default and I'm too lazy to bother with trying to change it.

Monaco 10, aliased, black on white, but I picked it on purpose (wasn't the default).

Monaco 13, anti-aliased, black on white.

www.codinghorror.com (http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/000969.html) had an article recently on font use. I'm currently trying out Consolas to see if it has any merit.

Cooper Black MS 12
It's awesome ;)

I can't stand coding on a white background, it hurts my eyes. So I code on a black background with light colored fonts. (white/yellow/green mostly)

[BeyondCloister]

Just whatever the default happens to be.

ProFont 9 (http://www.tobias-jung.de/seekingprofont/). Antialiased.

ProFont 9 (http://www.tobias-jung.de/seekingprofont/). Antialiased.

Oh yeah, I used ProFont 9 for years. I almost mentioned it above, but it's been a few years since I last used it.

[ThemsAllTook]

ProFont looks awesome! I may have to switch... Looks very similar to Monaco, but with a few differences that improve readability.

I switched to ProFont quite recently, and I have to say I'm loving it so far. I moved from Monaco size 10 (or whatever the Xcode default is) to Profont size 9 and the ability to get more code on the screen is quite handy. I tried changing to light text on a dark background at the same time, but I can't get used to that any more so I switched back quite rapidly.

anonymous antialiased, profont aliased.

I envy you people who have good enough eyes to use a really small font

[TomorrowPlusX]

Luxi mono. From an X11 distro. I'm sure you can find it via google.

[JustinFic]

Andale Mono 12 antialiased, but I might give ProFont 9 an honest shot.

I code white-on-black, and use as much syntax coloring as my IDE will let me. On Xcode this is a fair amount, but when I used Visual Studio + Visual Assist it was enough to cause seizures.

I also tried turning one of those rotating monitors vertically for my code screen, but that blew my mind out after 30 minutes and I had to switch back.
