I don't really like Courier or Courier New, so I downloaded ProFont, which is alright, but I'm wondering if anyone would like to share some of their favorite fixed width fonts? Obviously, it'd have to work on OS X.

I like Inconsolata in Mac OS X for editing.

...but you should take a look at the list compiled over at TextMate's website.

Thanks, I went with Inconsolata, it's a very nice font, especially at 10-12 pt.

Monaco I think is one of the best fonts out there for Fixed-width. It's usually the default on many text-editing apps like TextMate and BBedit.

Also, the font that comes with Coda, IIRC it's called Panic Sans, is really nice.

Every time I try to change to another font that isn?t Monaco, I end up coming back to it.

Maybe is because I have been using it since the early Mac OS.

Is Monaco included with OS X? Because every time I try out TextMate, it seems to default to Courier.

    • Just merge it with Instagram already... Meta having two platforms with overlap was a bad business decision.
    • Aw look at all the typical Elon crybabies already filing in here to whine... You people are too busy promoting hatred and violence to realize that this better technology is going to be great for lowing ride costs across the industry. Perhaps the article should focus on why Waymo didn't innovate enough and is about to be in a world of pain. The cars are expensive to build and therefore the rides are expensive. The technology also isn't as good as it should be and is too conservative. Do they still avoid highway routes in some cities? Robotaxi is going to come along with it's cheap vehicles and low fares and Uber, Lyft, and Waymo are going to be screwed. https://futurism.com/the-byte/waymo-expensive-slower-taxis
    • Hello, thanks for the feedback   This was changed because Google now requires high quality images in these articles, otherwise they might not be promoted in Google Search/News/Discover and other places  (specific link to the policy https://developers.google.com/search/docs/appearance/google-discover#:~:text=appearing in Discover) so we were kind of forced into it. Google keeps moving the goalposts and it affects us greatly as a site online for almost 25 years; one change in their Search algorithm can result in half of our traffic vanishing overnight (and this has happened in the past). I will reach out to Razvan so that he is aware of your request to feature software icons more prominently.
    • I'm tired of asking for this in the Windows 11 Insider feedback. It seems to me that Microsoft solemnly ignores insiders and their feedback or suggestions made to the system.
