Lesser Known Coding Fonts

Maybe it's because I've only used fixed-width fonts for programming and have gotten used to it - but I find fixed-width fonts significantly easier on the eyes.

But would you ever read a novel using fixed width fonts? Modern typography uses variable width fonts for good reasons.

I find type writer fonts to look horrible since I’ve gotten used to variable width fonts. It’s like immediate eye strain for me. But you have to choose a good font, times new Roman won’t work.

I used DejaVu Mono Book for quite a while, I had no problems with it.

Only when coding or always, for example books and websites including this one?

Only when coding or working with raw text, I use variable-width fonts everywhere else (reading, browsing the web, etc).
