and that bold sans serif proportional text for the code is
just... well let's say it's time to replace it.
What would be a good code font to use for those?
I don't think listening to random forum opinions (Inconsolata!!1)
is a good process. What is the intention we want to convey with
the font choice?
a) Just use whatever is default, we dont care.
(font-family:monospace;)
b) Use what the viewer is familiar with. That depends on the OS
and other factors. Consolas for Windows users? A quick google
tour did not turn up any popularity statistics for "programmer
fonts".
c) Something beautiful. We are special. We care for every detail.
We have a brand. Increased loading time for the website is the
price to pay. It should also look the same on most systems.
d) Any other relatively objective process?
