<h1>Bitstream Vera Sans Mono</h1>
|

|

> "Vera is a group typeface (font) with a liberal license. It was designed by Jim Lyles from Bitstream, and it is closely based on Bitstream Prima, for which Lyles was also responsible. It is a TrueType font with full hinting instructions, which improve its rendering quality on low-resolution devices such as computer monitors."
|
||||
[...](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitstream_Vera)
|
||||
|
||||
If to be copied is the sincerest form of flattery, Jim Lyles has much to be proud of: this has to be the [most copied font ever](http://dejavu-fonts.org/wiki/index.php?title=Bitstream_Vera_derivatives). A classic, this font is especially well suited for use on Windows since it's fully hinted. Although Bitstream did a wonderful job, its 300 glyphs can be limiting. Luckily, it has been open sourced, inspiring the [DejaVu Project](http://dejavu-fonts.org/wiki/Main_Page) to expand the coverage of this wonderful typeface.

This font was designed by Steve Matteson, more widely known for his work on the Droid fontfaces you'll find on any Android device. It was created especially for on-screen use, and covers regular, bold and italic in an amazing 2391 Glyphs. Compatibility might be its strongest feat, but it's a serious font for every day use.

<h1>Fifteen</h1>
|
||||
|
||||
>"Fifteen is a faux bitmap font. This font is designed to be used as a monotype font for use in a terminal, or at a larger size, to look like an over scaled bitmap. It is designed for 15 pixel use. It is as narrow as I could make it, and works well in a 132 column terminal window."
|
||||
[...](http://openfontlibrary.org/en/font/fifteen)
|
||||
|
||||
This is not just some programming font. It's designed like a bitmap font, but built as an outline font for maximum compatibility. That does however mean it only looks good at 15 pixels and doesn't have any true bold or italic styles. Indeed, it seems it could not have been made any more narrow: it is supremely efficient at getting lots of code on the screen without sacrificing readability. Fifteen is nearly halve the width of Cousine or Droid Sans, ideal for digging though log files.

This isn't a designer's font, but an open source community effort to create a single font that has it all. It comes in bold and italic and has the most complete coverage of any font featured on this blog. While an OS will mix and match fonts for missing glyphs FreeFont looks to be a consistent source for anything mankind has ever put into writing. Still, every now and then new releases [improve the offering](https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?group=freefont). If you need specific scripts or write a lot of math in LateX, this font will not let you down. It would have been better with a more distinct zero though, it lacks a slash or dot to set it apart from the capital o.

<h1>Inconsolata</h1>
|
||||
|
||||
> "Inconsolata is my first serious original font release. It is a monospace font, designed for printed code listings and the like. There are a great many "programmer fonts," designed primarily for use on the screen, but in most cases do not have the attention to detail for high resolution rendering.
|
||||
Inconsolata draws from many inspirations and sources. I was particularly struck by the beauty of Luc(as) de Groot's Consolas, which is his monospaced design for Microsoft's Vista release. This font, similar to his earlier TheSansMono, demonstrated clearly to me that monospaced fonts do not have to suck."
|
||||
[...](http://www.levien.com/type/myfonts/inconsolata.html)
|
||||
|
||||
Inconsolata, inspired (also in name) by Consolas, is very well made and easy on the eyes. Its creator is a [Google Android engineer](http://www.levien.com/), who was also involved with Google Fonts. Although this font doesn't come from a foundry it shows the designer knew what he was doing. If there is a downside it's a lack of coverage (291 glyphs) of certain scripts and true bold and italics.

Most fonts work fine on a Mac, the best ones add hinting for The Windows ClearType system, but a scarce few pay special attention to the FreeType rendering used in Linux. Oxygen was created to work well in KDE, and this mono variation is a great choice for programmers on Linux. It features a slashed zero and 397 glyphs are enough for pretty much anyone, although purists would prefer true bold and italic.

Source Sans Pro has been one of the most succesful new, free and designed-for-screen fonts to surface the past few years. Developing an additional monospaced font for code only makes sense. It's modern but still with a notion of playfulness, and special attention has been paid to make every character easily distinguishable. It features an impressive 963 glyphs in seven (yes, 7) weights ranging from ExtraLight to Black. And if all of that is not amazing enough, it has been open sourced on Github and has seen regular updates. An italic version is currently in beta. It's great to see Adobe open sourcing this truly wonderful font.

This font was created by the same organisation responsible for Latin Moder. The goal was to build a TeX compatible font, based on Nimbus family originally packaged with Ghostscript. Also like Latin Modern, there is a special math font available. The TeX Gyre Cursor was based on URW Nimbus Mono L. It's a light, subtly serifed font. Although a more distinct zero would've been welcome it's superbly readable and comes in 1236 glyphs and true bold and italic.

This is not just some programming font. It's designed like a bitmap font, but built as an outline font for maximum compatibility. That does however mean it only looks good at 15 pixels and doesn't have any true bold or italic styles. Indeed, it seems it could not have been made any more narrow: it is supremely efficient at getting lots of code on the screen without sacrificing readability. Fifteen is nearly halve the width of Cousine or Droid Sans, ideal for digging though log files.

Source Sans Pro has been one of the most succesful new, free and designed-for-screen fonts to surface the past few years. Developing an additional monospaced font for code only makes sense. It's modern but still with a notion of playfulness, and special attention has been paid to make every character easily distinguishable. It features an impressive 963 glyphs in seven (yes, 7) weights ranging from ExtraLight to Black. And if all of that is not amazing enough, it has been open sourced on Github and has seen regular updates. An italic version is currently in beta. It's great to see Adobe open sourcing this truly wonderful font.

Most fonts work fine on a Mac, the best ones add hinting for The Windows ClearType system, but a scarce few pay special attention to the FreeType rendering used in Linux. Oxygen was created to work well in KDE, and this mono variation is a great choice for programmers on Linux. It features a slashed zero and 397 glyphs are enough for pretty much anyone, although purists would prefer true bold and italic.

<h1>Inconsolata</h1>
|
||||
|
||||
> "Inconsolata is my first serious original font release. It is a monospace font, designed for printed code listings and the like. There are a great many "programmer fonts," designed primarily for use on the screen, but in most cases do not have the attention to detail for high resolution rendering.
|
||||
Inconsolata draws from many inspirations and sources. I was particularly struck by the beauty of Luc(as) de Groot's Consolas, which is his monospaced design for Microsoft's Vista release. This font, similar to his earlier TheSansMono, demonstrated clearly to me that monospaced fonts do not have to suck."
|
||||
[...](http://www.levien.com/type/myfonts/inconsolata.html)
|
||||
|
||||
Inconsolata, inspired (also in name) by Consolas, is very well made and easy on the eyes. Its creator is a [Google Android engineer](http://www.levien.com/), who was also involved with Google Fonts. Although this font doesn't come from a foundry it shows the designer knew what he was doing. If there is a downside it's a lack of coverage (291 glyphs) of certain scripts and true bold and italics.

<h1>Andale Mono</h1>
|
||||
|
||||
This font is packaged with OSX, and used to be available in Windows up to ME. It includes true bold and italic, and has a dot inside the zero. Language specific versions (e.g. Cherokee) are available through Monotype and Ascender. Andale Mono used to be part of the "Core fonts for the web" (oh, the old days), which can still be downloaded and used freely from various places on the web (like the [archive](http://web.archive.org/web/20020124085641/http://www.microsoft.com/typography/fontpack/default.htm)).

<h1>Latin Modern Mono</h1>
|
||||
|
||||
> "The Latin Modern fonts are derived from the famous Computer Modern fonts designed by Donald E. Knuth and described in Volume E of his Computers & Typesetting series."
|
||||
[...](http://www.gust.org.pl/gust/projects/e-foundry/latin-modern)
|
||||
|
||||
This font has been developed by the Polish TeX Users Group (GUST). They paid specific attention to both diacritical and mathematical characters. If you really need extended math support there's even an Latin Modern Math font to help you out. Latin Modern Mono features subtle serifs, great coverage (734 glyphs), and wonderful light and italic styles.

<h1>Proggy Clean</h1>
|
||||
|
||||
> "The proggy fonts are a set of fixed-width screen fonts that are designed for code listings."
|
||||
[...](http://www.proggyfonts.net/)
|
||||
|
||||
"Probably the most popular programming font", Proggy Clean is the most popular font available from proggyfonts.net. If your editor supports it and you run it at its proper size, this font is incredibly crisp and clear. Of course it lacks true bold and italic, that would only disturb its cleanliness.

<h1>Luxi Mono</h1>
|
||||
|
||||
> "Luxi is a family of typefaces originally designed for the X Window System by Kris Holmes and Charles Bigelow from Bigelow & Holmes Inc. The Luxi typefaces are similar to Lucida – their previous font design."
|
||||
[...](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luxi_fonts)
|
||||
|
||||
In many ways similar to Lucida (by the same designers), this font was designed for the X Window System used in many Linux desktops. It features subtle serifs and is great for reading text. It doesn't have a distinct zero however, if you require that. With an adequate 376 glyphs in true bold and italic, you could do worse than go with Luxi for your daily writing.

<h1>Courier</h1>
|
||||
|
||||
Developed for the IBM Selectric Composer typewriter, it has for ages been the standard monospaced font. Courier is still packaged with OSX and Windows, along with the much thinner New variation created by Monotype for digital applications (and featured in Windows 3.1). Originally a typewriter font, it doesn't have a distinct zero.

<h1>PT Mono</h1>
|

|

> "At the end of 2011 we released a monospaced font PT Mono™ — the last addition to the pan-Cyrillic font superfamily PT Sans – PT Serif developed for the project “Public Types of Russian Federation”."
|
||||
[...](http://paratype.com/public/)
|
||||
|
||||
The PT family of fonts were created with the aim of fully supporting the Russian language. 811 glyphs in regular and bold includes a slahed zero and it perfect for programming. Even if you're not Russian.

<h1>Verily Serif Mono</h1>
|
||||
|
||||
> "Verily Serif Mono is derived from Bitstream Vera Serif with the same proportions as Bitstream Vera Sans Mono"
|
||||
[...](http://delubrum.org)
|
||||
|
||||
From the same creator as Aurulent Sans Mono comes this Bitstream Vera variation. Basically, it's Bitstream Vera, but with serifs. It covers 240 glyphs, just in regular.

<h1>TeX Gyre Cursor</h1>
|
||||
|
||||
> "TeX Gyre Cursor is based on the URW Nimbus Mono L kindly released by URW++ Design and Development Inc. under GFL (independently of the GPL release accompanying Ghostscript). The Vietnamese glyphs were added by Han The Thanh.
|
||||
TeX Gyre Cursor can be used as a replacement for a well-known Courier typeface (designed by Howard G. “Bud” Kettler, 1955, for the IBM corporation)."
|
||||
[...](http://www.gust.org.pl/projects/e-foundry/tex-gyre)
|
||||
|
||||
This font was created by the same organisation responsible for Latin Moder. The goal was to build a TeX compatible font, based on Nimbus family originally packaged with Ghostscript. Also like Latin Modern, there is a special math font available. The TeX Gyre Cursor was based on URW Nimbus Mono L. It's a light, subtly serifed font. Although a more distinct zero would've been welcome it's superbly readable and comes in 1236 glyphs and true bold and italic.

<h1>Bitstream Vera Sans Mono</h1>
|
||||
|
||||
> "Vera is a group typeface (font) with a liberal license. It was designed by Jim Lyles from Bitstream, and it is closely based on Bitstream Prima, for which Lyles was also responsible. It is a TrueType font with full hinting instructions, which improve its rendering quality on low-resolution devices such as computer monitors."
|
||||
[...](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitstream_Vera)
|
||||
|
||||
If to be copied is the sincerest form of flattery, Jim Lyles has much to be proud of: this has to be the [most copied font ever](http://dejavu-fonts.org/wiki/index.php?title=Bitstream_Vera_derivatives). A classic, this font is especially well suited for use on Windows since it's fully hinted. Although Bitstream did a wonderful job, its 300 glyphs can be limiting. Luckily, it has been open sourced, inspiring the [DejaVu Project](http://dejavu-fonts.org/wiki/Main_Page) to expand the coverage of this wonderful typeface.
