I use Monaco 12. Monospaced, differentiates zero / “O,” and “1” / lower-case 
“L” / upper-case “i,” has built-in bold style.

Random topic: What script font do you like/use?

[Vokey, John]

I use SourceCodePro in all my programming IDEs (LiveCode, R, Matlab, Octave, 
...).  It is a very clean monospaced font, and comes in a wide variety of 
weights.

That's true. I've been known to retype periods or commas (or 
semicolons or colons, which have the same problem) because I can't be 
absolutely sure it's the right character in Andale Mono.


Ubuntu Mono looks good, though I find it a little condensed for my 
taste. (Just goes to show how subtle people's preferences can be!)

There are odd differences between Courier and Courier New depending 
on platform. Back in the old days, I found Courier New too light on 
OS X and Courier much better as a documentation font. On Windows it 
was the opposite - Courier New looked much better than Courier, which 
was oddly misshapen on Windows.

I was a big fan of Andale Mono for many years, deeply in love were it 
not for one failing critical in programming:  the descending tail of the 
comma is too short, requiring a closer look than should be necessary to 
distinguish it from a period.


When I began moving most of my platform-independent work to Ubuntu I 
tried out Ubuntu Mono.


At first this was because I'm something of an Ubuntu fanboi, but 
ultimately I've come to appreciate its craftsmanship, aimed squarely at 
coders while retaining the eye for good clean style that distinguishes 
so much of the work from the Ubuntu design team.


Being the default Terminal and text editor choice on one of the leading 
OSes for devops, Ubuntu Mono has proven itself with its spacious clean 
kerning, and the comma is _very_ distinct from the period. :)


And I just checked: Ubuntu Mono renders well with bold in LiveCode.

It's free and open, downloadable here:
http://font.ubuntu.com/

I also find the standard Ubuntu font quite pleasing as well, an mildly 
adventurous sans serif that maintains good readability on screen.  I 
tend to use it in my conference presentations, no matter which OS I 
happen to be talking about at the time.

InputMono Light.  It's similar to SCP but I like the shapes better, and the

I default to Source Code Pro  SemiBold.

Good identification between upper and lower case, has easily distinguishable
lowercase l, capital I, and number 1, and zero and O 

You have the options of

Source Code Pro
Source Code Pro Black
Source Code Pro ExtraLight
Source Code Pro Light
Source Code Pro  SemiBold

I use Typewalk Mono 1915 Medium for the most part. They have a thin as well. I 
use thin and medium in my own editors and medium in the native one.

I am a former Verdana user for the exact reasons you stated, Jeanne. Good luck 
on your quest!

We are contemplating bundling this with LiveCode as the default it seems to be 
suitably licensed. Hack is also a pretty nice open source font
