Programming Fonts
Programming Fonts lets users test and compare monospace typefaces for coding.
About Programming Fonts
Programming Fonts is a web-based test drive for monospace typefaces used in code editors and terminals. The site collects fonts in one place and gives each one a proper credit to its creator. It is described as a passion project rather than a business, with no download portal, monetization or business plan behind it.
In the test drive you can sort the collection by newest, oldest, newest addition, name or author, and search for a specific font. A compare view lets you look at fonts side by side. You can adjust the sample text size and line spacing, pick from a long list of editor themes such as Nord, Dracula, Monokai, Solarized and Gruvbox, and preview the font in a chosen language sample. Language samples include Python, JavaScript, Go, Rust, Ruby, PHP, Shell, CSS, Swift, XML and several others, plus ASCII art.
The site suits developers and designers who want to see how a coding font looks and reads in a realistic setting before installing it. Font metadata is gathered with fontTools and Hyperglot, and the project accepts contributions on GitHub.
