Sand’s Pit

My favorite picture from Sand’s Pit, Karachi.

When programming, you need to use a monospaced font for better readability, the default in Windows is Courier New which, shall we say sub-optimal.

ProFont to the rescue! It is the perfect font for programmers, it can be set to a very small size if you want; it is the most readable mono-spaced font I’ve ever used. The way it treats zeros, apostrophes, lowercase L’s, upper I’s, colons, and semi colons goes a long way in reducing eye soreness when you are staring at code eight hours a day.

So, What’s your favorite font for programming?
