The following fonts are the best programmer fonts I have found so far. I consider only fonts that are scalable. The best are near the top.


The font’s designer Fabrizio Schiavi kindly prepared the above sample for me using my FontShower Applet. His font does not actually support the accented g character, so he substituted one. That is why it looks different from all the other characters. The only weakness is 8/0 are a bit too similar. I wonder how you could fix that perhaps clearing the centre of the 0 and making it shorter and putting a diagonal ear in the upper left and lower right corner, like a slashed 0, but with the center open. Perhaps just as small dot in the middle, or perhaps the way Vera does it with a horizontal bar across only the right half of the 0.

Here is what PragmataPro looks like:
