programmingfonts

You can download the web version for free here: https://github.com/braver/programmingfonts/tree/gh-pages/fon... There's probably a way to convert those to TTF or something else if you need it.

Have been following this site for years. I also like checking the repo's commit history page [0] which is essentially a "what's new" for programming fonts. [0]: https://github.com/braver/programmingfonts/commits/gh-pages I also find monospaced fonts ideal for immersive reading due to their crude, un-decorated vibe which is good for keeping attention. So whenever I want to read a long article but don't bother saving it to Instapaper, I turn on the Dark Reader add-on, which changes all web fonts to a monospaced font I specified and cover the page with a sepia tone.

Just add it there! It's on github https://github.com/braver/programmingfonts edit: ahhh it's a paid font. so nope

http://app.programmingfonts.org I've spent some time collecting monospace programming fonts, particularly those that are free to use. (Monospace because you can program with any font and you've got to draw the line somewhere). Usually I include some background info and basic stats in a blog post, and add it to a test drive "app". I've gone through some iterations here, and currently the backbone is a JSON data set (https://github.com/braver/programmingfonts/blob/gh-pages/fon...). I've been wondering what further to include here, e.g. glyph counts, of the zeroes are slashed or dotted, if there are OpenType alternatives, etc etc. And how to expose all that. It has been linked here before, but never by me and I haven't been able to respond before. Also, it has seen a lot of work since then. So, here I'd like to show HN what I've made and ask
