WizardOz Member Licensed User Longtime User Jul 23, 2012 #1 Hi! Just wanted to show what I would declare as the perfect font for the b4a-ide. I use this font every day, in all my projects, it makes the code easy to read. The name of the font is "ProFont" and is free. ProFont began life as a better version of Monaco 9 which is especially good for programmers. It was created circa 1987 by Andrew Welch. This version (it got the new chars, like the Euro) has been adjustet to work with the modern windows. 7 and 9 sizes also works great. The font is attached (in the original zip), no virus found(Checked with Nod32). Attachments ProFontWinTweaked.zip ProFontWinTweaked.zip 46.9 KB · Views: 462

Erel B4X founder Staff member Licensed User Longtime User Jul 23, 2012 #2 Thank you for sharing. Looks like a nice font.
R Roger Garstang Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Jul 24, 2012 #3 I've used Pro Font and a couple others before in other IDEs...for some reason I always go back to the Vista/Win7 Console font or something though. This one is labeled Tweaked...do you know what is "tweaked" in it?

R Roger Garstang Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Jul 24, 2012 #4 Crisp, Dina, ProggyClean, and Sheldon are some other good ones. I found my font of this and they have the exact same version numbers, dates, etc...but mine is 50KB and this one is 56KB. I wonder what the extra 6KB is with no version change? Dina and Crisp are my Favs of the above, just because they look clearer and the % and Slash Zeros are better. Last edited: Jul 24, 2012

The readme states: Version 2 "tweaked" This is ProFont Windows TTF, Version 2 "tweaked". Based on v2. Modifications include: - A Euro character - Missing characters from the Latin 1 code page - Full support for CodePage 850. These are mostly the famous block/box characters you know from DOS. Very useful if you use Mightnight Commander through PuTTY. - Fixed metrics so that point size of 9 works correctly. Until now you had to select 7 to obtain the native point size of 9. - Added some quick&dirty hinting for point size of 9. Most characters now match closely the look of the bitmap version. Don't expect it to look good on anything else than Windows...

Living on the edge? hehehe Switched mine to Crisp 12pt Regular after all this. For some reason the font dialog in B4A isn't seeing Dina This has a pretty good sample of them: Proggy Programming Fonts

B BarrySumpter Active Member Licensed User Longtime User Jul 26, 2012 #9 LOL I did chase those down but too many in the generic family to chose from. Too hard chasing all those different fonts down. Installing and testing and reverting. Need a direct hyperlink. Otherwise I suggest w-ing-b-ats.
