Great Programming Font Updated
I just received an email from Damien Guard to let me know he has updated his Envy Code R font. That’s one of my three favorite programming fonts.

The next free minor update of EditPad will have a more intelligent painting algorithm that makes sure the overhang is not clipped by the next bit of text.

Fonts are nice, but what size do you prefer for your Delphi work? Background color? Just got a new machine & screen, and I had to come here to get my fonts.

In EditPad Pro, I use 10 point Bitstream Vera Sans Mono, with the “white on black” color scheme selected in Options, Preferences, Colors. In Delphi I use 10 point Lucida Console with the color scheme set as close as I can make it to the one in EditPad Pro.
I use dual 1920*1080 24″ matte LCDs.
