I like Source Code Pro as well, but I agree that nothing beats Consolas. It's just such a well-designed font, and works so well on Windows.


Consolas stands out on Windows as it's highly tuned with ClearType in mind. Many excellent fonts that render fine on MacOS are almost unbearable on Windows, like Inconsolata.


Agreed, which is why I've had a hard time finding a good alternative to Consolas on Windows. On other platforms I like Source Code Pro.


I use it on Linux and it works really well too (at least it does with Ubuntu's font rendering or Infinality).
