Programming fonts

Another one, which I also like and which is used in Android OS, is Droid Sans Mono:


The whole story is here. Hope you find there your new favorite programming font instead of boring Courier new and Consolas.

  3. Webdings regular is a good font only for assembly language programming... for regular apps you should always use comic sans at size of 48pt, color pink.
