Since Google Fonts first launched in 2010 they have made quite a few changes to improve the user experience. UPDATE UPDATE: Want the latest on combining fonts? Here’s a new article about it. Google font examples can be found at the Google font website, but it still doesn’t make it an easy task to choose the one you want. Searching through them is a pain if you ask me. Keep working on it, it's a very lovely project.There are literally hundreds of Google fonts. Character balance is a hard thing to achieve, I've read. the n and t are kinda leaning into each other, with the i leaning outward. In your screenshot in the top left, I noticed the word 'int' looks a bit wonky. I see what someone else meant when they said it looks kinda 'fun'. I'm still using DejaVu because many of those other ones have the asterisk symbol appearing too low for my taste. It's kinda quirky but elegant at the same time. It's that straight notch at the top with the curvy tail at the bottom. Source Code Pro has it, as does Ubuntu Mono and Menlo. The first time I googled monospace fonts, you see, to decide what I wanted to use when I was setting up my first IDE (intelliJ, I think it was), I saw a bunch of images of different fonts, and when I saw the 'l' of DejaVu Sans, my jaw dropped. The first thing I always, always look at when reviewing a new monospace font for coding is I look at the 'l'. If the narrowness is a top selling point for you, then Consolas is definitely king. > Consolas is narrower than most monospaced fonts at 55% of the Em square, where I stuck with 60% for Source Code. (It seems the web has become more informative on this topic than the last time I surveyed all the font options.)įinally, this is what the designer of Source Code Pro, Paul D. One negative is that I much prefer Consolas' 0-with-slant to Source Code Pro's 0-with-dot.īy the way, the first link below is from a very cool resource I just found with votes and comparisons of many of the most popular choices. 'i' has 1 to Consolas' 3, while lower case 'l' (L) has 2 to Consolas' 3. It's the lower-case 'i' that does it for me.įewer serifs in general allow me to read more quickly, I feel.
They are extremely similar and I agree nothing else comes very close. I use Mac, not Windows, so I'm sure I see them rendered quite differently than you, but I prefer Source Code Pro.
