<h1>Quinze</h1>
> "Quinze is a narrow monospaced font, for programming and terminal emulators. It is designed to be narrow, and allow 132 columns to be comfortably fitted on a screen The 1, l and I are clearly distinguished, as are O and 0. The ascii circumflex is presented as an arrow, consistent with its use as exponentiation operator."
[...](http://openfontlibrary.org/en/font/fifteen)
Like Fifteen, Quinze was made to fit lots of code on a line. It's very narrow but still readable. Where Fifteen is a faux bitmap font that only really works at 15 pixels, Quinze is a true outline font. It has all the features required of a programming font, but lacks true bold and italic and its character set is a bit limited. A bit of a specialist font perhaps, but well executed and usefull.

<h1>saxMono</h1>
Not much is known about this font. It features 495 glyphs, only in regular. Also, its zero and capital o are almost equal, as are the one and capital i. So, saxMono might not be an obvious first choice for programming, but it's a well made and modern typeface.
