Recommended Fonts for Programming?
Courier New is perfect (for me) for programming.
Except that it really needs a slashed 0 (zero) and distinct 1 (one) vs l (letter l).
Is there a recompile of the font with these features?
(edit: this question is about Courier New :)
(edit 2: Stack Overflow failed me here, I specifically asked about Courier New, I don't care about other programming fonts. Perhaps I needed to really make that clear in the question.)
When I got tired of Courier New I started to use Triskweline, and now I love it; despite being a bitmap font, it's quite nice, and it offers easily recognizable characters, especially for the most "problematic" ones (1/I/l, O/0, ...).
Moreover, it doesn't look like garbage as Consolas if ClearType is not available/disabled.
By the way, here are some other "alternative" programming fonts:
I usually use Consolas, which is similar to Courier New but makes these distinctions.
It also makes much better use of ClearType.
It's included with Vista and with Office 2007, and with the free PowerPoint Viewer 2007.
