«Meet the IBM Plex® typeface, our new corporate typeface family. It’s global, it’s versatile and it’s distinctly IBM.
We designed the IBM Plex typeface carefully to both meet our needs as a global tech company and express who we are as IBMers. It took two years and a lot of work to get here, but today we have a signature typeface we’re proud and excited to share with the world. Discover more about our development of the IBM Plex typeface.
The IBM Plex typeface is an open-source project and available for download and use following the Open Font License (OFL). The IBM Plex family comes in Sans, Serif, Mono and Sans Condensed, all with roman and true italics. The fonts have been designed to work well in user interface (UI) environments, as well as other mediums. This project provides all source files and file formats to support most typographical situations. Currently, IBM Plex Sans supports Extended Latin, Arabic, Cyrillic, Devanagari, Greek, Hebrew, Korean and Thai. Japanese and Chinese will follow in 2021 and 2022.»

‘Anonymous Pro’
Diseñada en 2009 con la idea en mente de ser usada para programar, se basa en algunas fuentes anteriores como:
- la fuente ‘Anonymous’ diseñada en 2001
- una versión anterior llamada ‘Anonymous 9’ (del propio diseñador de ‘Anonymous Pro’)
- una fuente bitmap de Macintoch de mediados de los 90’s.
‘Anonymous Pro’ es una fuente de ancho fijo que tiene caracteres redondos y curvos, de fácil lectura y que puede adaptarse a cualquier tamaño.
«Anonymous Pro (2009) is a family of four fixed-width fonts designed with coding in mind. Anonymous Pro features an international, Unicode-based character set, with support for most Western and Central European Latin-based languages, plus Greek and Cyrillic. Anonymous Pro is based on an earlier font, Anonymous™ (2001), my TrueType version of Anonymous 9, a Macintosh bitmap font developed in the mid-’90s by Susan Lesch and David Lamkins. Anonymous Pro is distributed with the Open Font License (OFL).
There are two versions: Anonymous Pro and Anonymous Pro Minus. Anonymous Pro contains embedded bitmaps for smaller sizes, Anonymous Pro Minus does not. More info about this in the Usage Notes.»</small>cd ~/Descargas unzip AnonymousPro-1.002.zip -d ~/.fonts/ -x ._A* *.txt sudo fc-cache -f -v

Incorpora ligaduras, se ve tan bien en pantalla que sobre el papel.
«It is a monospace font, designed for code listings and the like, in print. There are a great many “programmer fonts,” designed primarily for use on the screen, but in most cases do not have the attention to detail for high resolution rendering.
Inconsolata draws from many inspirations and sources. I was particularly struck by the beauty of Luc(as) de Groot’s Consolas, which is his monospaced design for Microsoft’s upcoming Vista release. This font, similar to his earlier TheSansMono, demonstrated clearly to me that monospaced fonts do not have to suck.
First and foremost, Inconsolata is a humanist sans design. I strove for the clarity and clean lines of Adrian Frutiger’s Avenir (the lowercase “a”, in particular, pays homage to this wonderful design), but also looked to Morris Fuller Benton’s Franklin Gothic family for guidance on some of my favorite glyphs, such as lowercase “g” and “S”, and, most especially, the numerals.
Designing a monospace font poses unique challenges. I have carefully studied many other monospaced fonts to see how they solve these problems. Many of the available monospace fonts are adaptations of existing proportionally-spaced fonts, but some, such as Letter Gothic, draw strength from being their own designs. I hope Inconsolata upholds that tradition.
Some details will be most apparent in print, such as the subtle curves in lowercase “t”, “v”, “w”, and “y”. Inconsolata also borrows “micro-serifs” from some Japanese Gothic fonts, which enhance the appearance of crispness and legibility.»

«The Ubuntu Font Family are a set of matching new libre/open fonts in development during 2010-2011. The development is being funded by Canonical Ltd on behalf the wider Free Software community and the Ubuntu project. The technical font design work and implementation is being undertaken by Dalton Maag.
Both the final font Truetype/OpenType files and the design files used to produce the font family are distributed under an open licence and you are expressly encouraged to experiment, modify, share and improve.
The new Ubuntu Font Family was started to enable the personality of Ubuntu to be seen and felt in every menu, button and dialog. The typeface is sans-serif, uses OpenType features and is manually hinted for clarity on desktop and mobile computing screens.
The scope of the Ubuntu Font Family includes all the languages used by the various Ubuntu users around the world in tune with Ubuntu’s philosophy which states that every user should be able to use their software in the language of their choice. So the Ubuntu Font Family project will be extended to cover many more written languages.»

«OpenType Layout features: stylistic alternates, localized forms, uppercase-sensitive forms, oldstyle figures, lining figures, arbitrary fractions, superscript, subscript. Consolas is intended for use in programming environments and other circumstances where a monospaced font is specified. All characters have the same width, like old typewriters, making it a good choice for personal and business correspondence. The improved Windows font display allowed a design with proportions closer to normal text than traditional monospaced fonts like Courier. This allows for more comfortable reading of extended text on-screen.
This is a monospaced Sans Serif font that was designed and released by Luc(as) de Groot. The Consolas font is one of the unique design tools found in the Clear Type Font Collection. If you are a person who delves deeply about work at Microsoft, then you are probably no stranger to a set of Microsoft fonts that use Clear Type font rendering technology for popular as well as commercial applications.
There are many Sans Serif fonts that look really simple but are of particularly interested by lots of designers. The reason may be the luxurious, flexible, classy appearance, albeit with a simple but equally sophisticated design. And the Consolas font is also a good example. This striking font is very popular in the programmer’s team. This Sans font is displayed in a monotonous style like a classic typewriter or when using as Monospaced font. So this is probably one of the factors that make this Consolas font more popular than ever.
Consolas font has become very popular and familiar to users of Microsoft products. Especially this Sans Serif font is an integral part of Microsoft Visual Studio 2010, Microsoft Office 2007, and Microsoft Windows Vista.
This Consolas font is similar to Calibri font, it has the OpenType features consists of lining numerals, normal zeros, dotted, and slashed. Along with opportunity shapes for a vast of lowercase characters. Moreover, This fancy Sans font contains the subscript, arbitrary fractions, old-style figures, localized paperwork, stylistic alternates, uppercase-touchy forms, lining figures, as well as superscript.»

‘Meslo LG’
«Meslo LG is a customized version of Apple’s Menlo-Regular font (which is a customized Bitstream Vera Sans Mono).
In Snow Leopard, Menlo-Regular is now the preferred and default font for Apple’sdeveloper tools and also the Terminal (unless you changed the font settings for these apps yourself before upgrading to SL – your changes will stay in place).
I really like Menlo but I do have my nitpicky gripes with it:
The default vertical (line) spacing is just way to cramped for me, and also I am not particularily fond of the horizontal baseline alignment of the asterisk. That’s why I decided to customize Menlo, regarding these “issues”.
The tricky part is keeping all the custom tables, hints, etc. intact when you adjust the globally very affecting stuff that results in vertical spacing.
The “LG” in Meslo LG stands for Line Gap. The idea behind it is to allow the user to have some control over vertical spacing by choosing one of three line gap variants: small, medium and large (Meslo LG S, Meslo LG M and Meslo LG L respectively).»
Existen 2 versiones: Meslo LG -con una diagonal en el interior del número ‘cero’-, y Meslo LG DZ -con un punto en el interior del número ‘cero’-.

Propietaria; viene por defecto con la terminal de ‘OS X’.
«Monaco is a monospaced sans-serif typeface designed by Susan Kare, Kris Holmes, and Charles Bigelow and published by Apple Inc. Monaco 13.0d1e2 came built-in with macOS High Sierra and subsequently macOS Mojave.
Characters are distinct, and it is difficult to confuse 0 (figure zero) and O (uppercase O), or 1 (figure one), | (vertical bar), I (uppercase i) and l (lowercase L). A unique feature of the font is the high curvature of its parentheses as well as the width of its square brackets, the result of these being that an empty pair of parentheses or square brackets will strongly resemble a circle or square, respectively.
Monaco has been released in at least three forms. The original was a bitmap monospace font that still appears in the ROMs of even New World Macs, and is still available in recent macOS releases (size 9, with disabled antialiasing). The second is the outline form, loosely similar to Lucida Mono and created as a TrueType font for System 6 and 7; this is the standard font used for all other sizes. There was briefly a third known as MPW, since it was designed to be used with the Macintosh Programmer’s Workshop IDE; it was essentially a straight conversion of the bitmap font into an outline font with the addition of some of the same disambiguation features as were added to the TrueType Monaco.
The original Monaco 9 point bitmap font was designed so that when a Compact Macintosh window was displayed full screen, such as for a terminal emulator program, it would result in a standard text user interface display of 80 columns by 25 lines.
With the August 2009 release of Mac OS X 10.6 “Snow Leopard”, Menlo was introduced as the default monospaced font instead of Monaco in Terminal and Xcode. However, Monaco remains a part of macOS. Monaco is the default font in the current Python IDLE when used on a Mac running OS X El Capitan.»

At WWDC 2016, Apple unveiled a brand new font which was called San Francisco. The font went on to become the default font in macOS and iOS, replacing Helvetica (which replaced Lucida Sans). On watchOS, a special Compact variant of San Francisco, was used.

«Es una fuente monoespaciada compacta que permite aprovechar al máximo el espacio sin que la facilidad de lectura se resienta.
Monospaced fonts for programming. The fonts are all fixed-width and designed for programming. They were optimized while writing C or C++. For this reason, characters like the ‘’ are vertically centered as ‘’ usually means dereference or multiply, but never ‘to the power of’ like in Fortran.
The {}s are centered horizontally (in case you align braces vertically), the zero looks different from the capital oh, and there is never any confusion between ells, ones, and eyes.
Additionally, the arithmetic operators (+ - * < >) are all axis-aligned… unlike the last ones you just saw.»
En 2019 desarrollaron una versión ‘vector (scalable)’ de la variante ‘Proggy Clean Slashed-Zero’. «Proggy Vector comes in woff, svg, eot, ttf (with Mac variants), and otf (with Mac variants).
There are also two variants of Proggy Vector. The first is Proggy Dotted. It is a conversion of Proggy Clean with the dotted zero. The second is Proggy Crossed with crossed sevens and zeds.
Proggy Vector Regular is a modified version of the Hack Font. The modifications were made using the Bird Font editor. Both the modifications made by SourceFoundry for Hack and my subsequent modifications are licensed under MIT. However, Hack started life out elsewhere, so please read the licensing information in ProggyVector_Readme_And_Licensing.txt. There’s nothing arduous.
The web format woff file was generated by importing the otf into FontForge and exporting. I have also included the BirdFont (.birdfont) project file in case anyone would like to make further edits.
Windows appears to do a better job rendering ttf fonts over otf versions (even though otf supports cubic beziers which should not be approximations of the authored curves). Point size 10 of the ttf works well for me in Visual Studio.»

Dina is a monospace bitmap font, primarily aimed at programmers. It is relatively compact to allow a lot of code on screen, while (hopefully) clear enough to remain readable even at high resolutions.
