    In a cave but with a small pen light :)

    It's been awhile but scripting has started again..

    I am now setting up the environment and am curious what font and size
    coders use? :-P

    I use 1024 x 768 resolution at home and 1280 x 1024 at work. As the pixel size on my monitors is almost the same, I use the same fonts for text editing (which includes programming of course). I have two favourites (both are of course monospaced). Both are made by me, by converting TrueType fonts to bitmaps and handtuning them in Typeface (a bitmap font editor).

    Font, which I use most is Courier at 13 pixels (screenshot).

    The second one is sans-serif: DejaVuSansMono at 14 pixels (screenshot). This one is my system fixedwidth font (used in shell windows). As I like serif fonts, Courier is my first choice in my programmer editor.

    Ty, The Courier seems a better choice. It's a bit crisper and easier to follow.
    I have CED 3.5 now and saw you had a higher version. :-o
    Will be using Reggai with legacy graphics applications.

    i use e.font size 11 and end.font size 11, these are also great for programming (perhaps could be somewhere on the aminet in some amigae archive).

    bye, MarK.
