		callahad on May 18, 2009 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Top Programming Fonts For whatever reason, I can't stand how Windows or FreeType anti-alias Inconsolata. But on a Mac, it's dreamy. It is, however, somewhat annoying when I exuberantly recommend a typeface, only to see it become rather unusable when rendered by another system.

if you like inconsolata on the mac, try consolas which is very similar but in my opinion just a little bit more aesthetically pleasing.
