... Selectric and Slashed Zero Arial are proportional fonts, not mono-spaced fonts so you need to delete it. The font family, called Go (naturally), includes proportional- and fixed-width faces in normal, bold, and italic renderings. There are no terrible disadvantages for using a proportional font for any programming language. I can't stand fonts that put a serif to the left of the bottom of the lowercase 'l'. I grew up programming with line printers incapable of printing any proportionally spaced fonts.

Looking for the perfect programming font ? Lots of systems did not support proportional fonts for a long period maybe leading programmers to think that monospaced fonts where an inseparable part of programming. The alignment will diverge once the text begins to differ, which can actually be helpful in spotting typos and errors that a monospaced font might obscure. This site is the home of the Proggy programmer’s fonts (Proggy Clean, Proggy Square, Proggy Small, and Proggy Tiny) as well as a number of contributed programming fonts (Crisp, Speedy, CodingFontTobi1, and Opti).

These fonts are often low resolution, having been designed for antique computer terminals, and when used on modern machines, can be hard on the eyes during marathon programming sessions. Pragmata is a monospaced font with ligatures built with programming, math, and engineering in mind. It is designed for use at small point sizes. On two lines that begin the same way, a proportionally spaced font will still align the indentation and the identical portions.
Proggy Clean shows up on most lists of favorite programming fonts, and is No. As much as choice of a font is subjective there are important criteria to consider when choosing a programming font. 4 on the CodeProject list of best programming fonts. such as inconsolata In what universe does an 'l' have that? Proportional fonts can make it easier to spot typos.

Fira Code — Monospaced font with programming ligatures. Monaco — Monaco is a monospaced sans-serif typeface designed by Susan Kare and Kris Holmes. In proportional fonts, letters may adjust their shape depending on the environment in which they occur. E.g., ‘fi’ is a single unicode character for the ligature of ‘f’ and ‘i’. Last up on our list of paid fonts, and my personal favorite, is PragmataPro. It isn't similar to handwriting, printer's fonts, or a proportional font. A variant of this font family, with the addition of a monospaced font and open-source license, was licensed by Red Hat, Inc. as the Liberation font family.

The fonts have been tested for technical uses, particularly programming. At least Consolas and Monaco get it right. However if the order is ‘if’, the horizontal space it takes up may be different depending on the font. It is too simliar to a '1'. In my experience, proportional fonts have worked very well.
Even for Python, which depends on precise formatting, you can use a proportional font without any terrible difficulties. – Patrick Szalapski Dec 2 '08 at 3:23 Proportional programming fonts March 17, 2005 11:38 PM Subscribe Following Bjarne Stroustrup's lead in The C++ Programming Language, 3rd edition I've for several years programmed in a proportionally spaced, not a fixed-width, font.
