So has Leon Breedt who <a href="http://blog.xeraph.org/coding/2005/08/07/programming-fonts">didn't like it so much</a> because it has to be aliased. He uses <a href="http://fsd.it/fonts/pragma.htm">Pragmata</a> by Fabrizio Schiavi which does look lovely but also costs about £60. I look at code quite a lot and £60 isn't so much money to pay if it made life better (and it's funny how fonts seem to be able to do that). However is this font <em>that much better</em> than Bistream Vera or <a href="http://www.tobiasjung.net/profont/">ProFont</a>? What is a boy to do..?</p> http://matt.blogs.it/entries/00001953.html http://matt.blogs.it/entries/00002213.html Thu, 11 May 2006 21:49:52 +0100 <p>Monaco 10pt without anti-aliasing, respect to <a href="http://blog.hasmanythrough.com/">hasmanyjosh</a>. I'm still tempted by Fabrizio Schiavi's <a href="http://www.fsd.it/fonts/pragma.htm">Pragmata</a> but I don't feel like paying £60 for a font.</p> http://matt.blogs.it/entries/00002213.html
