Before comparison, we need to know that the following sizes are roughly the same: dejavu09 vs mononoki10 vs inconsolata10

Dejavu #

If you are looking at this page, you know coding.
If you know coding, you should know Dejavu.
Thus, I will skip the intro for it.

Mononoki #

  • looks similar like dejavu, but its punctuation is much bigger and easier to see. // may draw mroe attention than code ???
  • mononoki10 is the same size of dejavu09, but mononoki11 is longer than dejavu10.
  • trying to use all space, thus, even mononoki10 is the same size of dejavu09, it is a slightly bigger.
  • some minor differences: digits 0 & 1, char g.
  • the punctuation symbols may touch each other, but the charaters never touch each other, which is a reversed situation compared wit dejavu.

Inconsolata #

To be short, it is just so so, not prefered. though someone may like
Details:

  • inconsolata11 is the same display width as dejavu10, but a little longer.
  • looks a bit more beautiful due to the use of some italic strokes.
  • big problem: italic quotes cause a problem, it is harder to distinguish with chinese quotes.
  • two more minor differences: digit 0; small char of L.
