You may have not given much thought to the font you currently use for coding before. You are probably happy with the default monospaced font that comes with your favorite IDE and over time have become accustomed to it. These fonts may be the best font for you, but are they actually good for general coding? I would never tell you which font is good (currently I am using Ubuntu Mono Regular) or bad, as there is no way to categorically measure it. It does come down to each individual coders preference. But there are certain fonts freely available that have been designed purely with programmers and coders in mind.
