Title: Coding Font
Post by: Munchor on September 12, 2011, 10:39:17 am
I know there's a topic on something similar here (http://ourl.ca/10373) but this is different.

What is your favourite coding font? The one you use on your programming text editors.

I use Consolas or Courier New, what about you ;)

Courier new or any other monospaced font

Wingdings.

(If you can't see the font properly below, then your computer is too weak to harness the power of Wingdings)

I thought wingdings were just symbols, but it's actually a readable font. But I prefer monospaced fonts for coding.

Whenever I hear "Wingdings" I think of "Wing Dings":

Anyway, Consolas is a good font :)

Meh, off topic, but I just asked my friend what he liked most to code with and he said MSWord w/ Times New Roman <_< the sad part was that he was serious.

See what evils AP Comp Sci. does to corrupt the newbies? :/  I guess even MSWord is better than jGRASP, so he probably started using it out of desperation for something with any good font choices or syntax highlighting (even though he changes the word colors himself, apparently...)

when I was in APCS, my teacher didn't taught us anything so we had to learn by ourselves XP

Highest possible is a 5.
That's very good :)

Consolas.

It just feels... clean for me.  Much better then whatever horrible font MS Notepad defaults to, anyways.

5 is great (I got this on a practice AP Exam we took for fun on the first day :P), 4 is very good, 3 is okay, 2 is meh (and gets you no college credit), 1 is rather despicable.

And Michael, MSNotePad is one of the only applications that comes with Windows that I really liked :P though of course, (Notepad++)++.

For Java, I use BlueJ sometimes and you can't change the font from whatever the default is...

But whenever I use Visual Studio, Netbeans or Eclipse, I have Cloister Black set as my font. It makes me feel special.

I though the AP Exam was fairly easy. I ended up scoring a 5.

I use whatever monospaced font Visual Studio uses, or whatever program sets as default. Any good monospaced font is good for me. Why not the font you get when you lack a graphical interface (DOS' or Linux's default font in Ctrl-Alt-F1 mode). Or Fixedsys.

@FinaleTI: You, good sir, win the internet.

I am SO setting that my default coding font from now on ;D

Oh god, I suddenly have the urge to hand-craft code using a really fancy calligraphy pen on some parchment...

My favorite ide has always been notepad++ because of its compatibility with most porgramming languages and the ability to easily add others. I prefer to code on a black background and then notepad++ chooses a variety of fonts based off what i'm typing, so keywords are one font and comments may be another.

i am a fan of:

monospace,
sans, and
the default ubuntu font


they are all just easy to read

All I know is that my papers use the AMS math fonts :P

FinaleTI, you would win the Internet if you used that font in a cool IDE, not Visual Studio :P

Either way, I also like dark background, but not black. My favourite theme on gedit is Oblivion (dark gray background).

What's wrong with VS?  For C# and VC it is quite the bomb, nothing can compare.

Hehe, how are you supposed to program with that type of font? :P  I bet if I used it within a text editor or an IDE I would be crazy by the end of the day of use.

If you think that's crazy, you should see the zStart font I made based off that font. ;)

It can be used as one though. There are several plugins that can turn it into an IDE. Actually, it works as a PHP IDE by default because you can send files using the FTP Client.

The problem with Visual Studio is that it encourages developers to make programs that work solely on Microsoft Windows. This is not necessarily a problem, but sometimes it is, because programmers lose clients if their programs are not supported by many platforms.

It technically *can* be used as an IDE, but the plugin system it provides is *very* weak and not many languages/compilers/interpreters/utilities are supported well.  Though I still use it solely for Text Editing and then compiling/testing manually with GCC, GHC, and YARV.
