With the clear type technology on Windows I have to agree on Consolas, as much as I don’t like proprietary stuff. But at work I use one HD monitor and a non-HD monitor (turned portrait) and so I stick with Liberation Mono sized at 11. Consolas just doesn’t seem to work as well on that monitor.

I’ve used just Dejavu Sans mono..but I found new coding font- and It’s Ecocoding…I found this font from the website, myfonts. :)
This is not free:( but its really gooooooood!!
you cans see a prwview HERE I think Ecocoding can meet all your needs..just try it. :)

I use Tamsyn font.

Consolas is not windows only. You can install on linux as well.

did you try ENVY CODE R? http://damieng.com/blog/2008/05/26/envy-code-r-preview-7-coding-font-r eleased

@ STop:

Interesting. We Poles do the same. X, Q and V are not traditional parts of the alphabet, though they are becoming included more often these days because of western brand names.

What we usually do with generic loan words is we Polonize them:

– If there is a V in it, we swap it to W
– If it has X we change it to KS
– If it has Q in it we change it to KU
– If it has a C we switch it to K
– If it has a CH we swap it to CZ
– If it has SH we change it to SZ
– If it’s a noun we run it through our case system
– Etc..

If it’s a brand, or a propper name we just tend to run it through out case system leaving the spelling intact but we do use the cases: Microsoft, Microsoftu, Microsofcie, Microsoftem, Xerox, Xeroxem, Xeroxu, Xeroxsie, etc..

I meant KS = X.

By the way, I like the look of the polish alphabet. Somehow reminiscent of runic scripts…

Well, we don’t see them as “special” characters :)
This is the official order – don’t really know why. Convenience might be the reason. Actually, the modern danish alphabet is relatively new (late fourties). Before that, it has been (not necessarily at the same time):
AA = Å (still used in [place] names), Ä or [AE] = Æ, and Ö or [OE] = Ø.
Letters like C, Q, W, X and Z are mostly used in loanwords. Northmen and Swedes mostly bannished them altogether. Scandinavian languages usually prefer S, K, V and EKS instead (e.g. Ekspert = Expert).

@ road:

Nice. I like that one.@ astine:

Yeah, but var-width coding is weird. I like when things line up.

@ Garrick:

LOL, yeah, I dropped it from the list. It did make me laugh though.

@ Joshua Kehn:

Nitri is actually kinda nice. Kinda like Monfour – it has a funky feeling to it.

@ Pollux Gluten:

You know, most of the time don’t notice blurriness. Maybe it’s just me though.

@ David:

Interesting… Proggy was on mu list for this post, and then I ended up skipping it for some reason. :P

The Polish alphabet goes like this:

AĄBCĆDEĘFGHIJKLŁMNŃOÓPRSŚTUWYZŹŻ

I usually default Consolas on Windows and I like Droid on Linux… but they both have a flaw in a danish context (and so have many others, like Terminus): The crossed 0 looks too much like the danish capital Ø (& Oslash;), so I usually end up using the Bitstream font which has a dotted 0…

FYI: the danish alphabet looks like this (caps):
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZÆØÅ

Our Norse fellows might have the same issue!
