hmm.. i have suspicion that it is actually adobe who can't handle the font properly.. because in some examples for source code pro font, the adjacent letters jump onto each other. i don't believe it is that bad (see attached)Inline images 1
Adobe or the viewer? I used evince to view it, not acrobat reader. It may point to incorrect spacing information in Source Sans Pro (I have not the errors you see in Source Code Pro).
Who is in charge of the Source Pro font? Which typographer? Oh, Adobe apparently. If they can't handle it properly...

My take is: - Unable to like Source Code Pro 9 (and it's so wide); - Source Sans Pro 9 has spacing issues (16r, the r is too close) and reading issues (it's the worse for the lL|i characters) - Source sans Pro 10 is better than 9 (but what with the 2x space?) Overall, I'd stay with DejaVu Sans 9 based on this sample. In my opinion, the best compromise density / readability.

It is designed to do that. Some common failings of monospaced fonts are noted [1] and dealt with. There comment section is also interesting. The attached PDFs are the result of getting the urge to compare a broad coverage of code examples (taken from "Terse Guide to Squeak") against three fonts: * DejaVu Sans 9 point * Source Code Pro [1] [2] 9 point * Source Sans Pro [3] [4] 9 point & 10 point, since the width of 10 was the same as the others at 9. Also attached is the source excel file. cheers -ben [1] http://blogs.adobe.com/__typblography/2012/09/source-__code-pro.html <http://blogs.adobe.com/typblography/2012/09/source-code-pro.html> [2] http://sourceforge.net/__projects/sourcecodepro.adobe/__files/ <http://sourceforge.net/projects/sourcecodepro.adobe/files/> [3] http://blogs.adobe.com/__typblography/2012/08/source-__sans-pro.html <http://blogs.adobe.com/typblography/2012/08/source-sans-pro.html> [4] http://sourceforge.net/__projects/sourcesans.adobe/__postdownload?source=dlp <http://sourceforge.net/projects/sourcesans.adobe/postdownload?source=dlp> I'l let you try, then :) Thierry -- Thierry Goubier CEA list Laboratoire des Fondations des Systèmes Temps Réel Embarqués 91191 Gif sur Yvette Cedex France Phone/Fax: +33 (0) 1 69 08 32 92 / 83 95 -- Best regards, Igor Stasenko.
