A coder’s typeface

Programmers will agree when I say: the font is of high relevance. I’m a big fan of “Menlo”, first shipped with Mac OS X Snow Leopard as the new standard font for Xcode. “Menlo” is a modification of “DejaVu Sans Serif Mono”, a definite improvement in many ways. Today I want to introduce you to a great alternative. Some of you certainly heard of the Droid font family before. It’s the typeface that had been designed for the Android platform. Coders usually prefer monospaced fonts, so it’s no surprise that “Droid Sans Mono” is a suitable coding font. Unfortunately there is one cosmetic issue, it lacks of a distinguishable zero glyph. Matt Freels changed that and created an awesome variant that comes with a dotted zero glyph. It’s called “Droid Sans Mono Custom” and available below.
