Intro

Being a programmer I spend a lot of time looking at text on my computer. Mostly monospaced text. So I like to have something nice to look at. This is a list of the fonts I've found and/or tried and my opinion about them, these are not just facts so feel free to disagree.

I'm currently using:

Name	Size
/ryuslash/orgweb/src/commit/c9b59a2c236fd165a3be2efdb18f3b4d02ef9431/articles/Monaco	12 (or pixelsize=18 for XFT)

List

Here is the list of fonts I've found and/or tried.

Monaco

This font has the most beautiful parentheses I've ever found anywhere. Placing two together (like so ()) almost creates a circle. I like this because I write quite a bit of lisp, and as you may or may not know, lisp uses a lot of parentheses.

osaka_unicode

This font is almost identical to /ryuslash/orgweb/src/commit/c9b59a2c236fd165a3be2efdb18f3b4d02ef9431/articles/Monaco. The only real differences I've found is that is has a different a and that is adds a space to each quote (at least double, but I think also single).
