We face the editor every day. This font is very important. It must be equal to width and easy to read. It must be able to distinguish between il1i and oo0.
It seems that courier, Courier New, terminal, and fixedsys all have different faults. is better, but O0 cannot be separated, and lucida concle is also used... Verdana and tahoma look nice, but they are not very wide...
The font of the code is very important during website development and programming. If you choose the right one, and the IDE is easy to use and the code color is comfortable, it is a perfect development environment. Once the font is selected badly, this will make people feel dizzy and their eyes sour-it is a kind of torment for developers and readers.
When you select a code font, the following standards are required:
- Equal width
This should be the most basic condition.
- Clear characters
If the code is not clear, the font is useless.
- No character Obfuscation
1/L/I/I cannot be confused, and 0/o cannot be confused.
- Punctuation Marks
Frequently Used symbols such as large, medium, and parentheses, single, and double quotation marks must be clearly identifiable and should not be strange.
The following lists several nice-looking and easy-to-use fonts to share with you. (Refer to revisiting programming fonts and monospace/fixed width programmer's fonts)
