Monospace is the typical choice that communicates writing. With iA Writer Duospace, we went a step ahead. What makes Duo better than mono?

A Coders Font IS Important!

So you can write hundreds of lines of great code, but does is it good to look at? You might spend hours looking at code, and if its your job that will probably be a lot! When I finally realised that there were such things as font for programmers I went about trying to understand what the best style to use are.

It turns out fixed-width/monospace fonts are the ones to look out for, you have probably seen Courier being used a lot because it fits this requirement. However that's about the only thing it does well, I was looking for something that looked a little better...

Now, understandably choosing a font is always down to the individual and my favourite font doesn't even feature on this excellent post of the 'The Top 10 Programming Fonts' http://hivelogic.com/articles/top-10-programming-fonts/. 

My favourite is called Bitstream Vera Sans Mono and comes from the Gnome Project, it can be downloaded from here http://www-old.gnome.org/fonts/. I've used it for several years in many different programming languages, and find it visually easy to read and very clear at many different sizes of font. Here is a screenshot of this font being used within Eclipse, language being Java.

Would you not agree its pretty sweet!
