Proggy programming fonts

The Proggy programming fonts are a set of free fixed-width typefaces designed with programming and terminal work in mind.

Fonts

The project started with the four Proggy typefaces authored by Tristan Grimmer: Proggy Clean, Square, Small, and Tiny, circa 2004. Other contributors had their fonts added to the collection with time, which account to about 10 additional typefaces.

It is currently a member of the Gentoo Linux packaging system.

The typefaces are usually provided as single-size 9 point raster fonts. They are offered in a variety of formats in order to be usable on different platforms, including Windows, Mac OS X, Unix and Unix-like systems.

Reception

Craig Buckler at SitePoint listed it as one of the top programming fonts.[1] It was mentioned by Jeff Atwood.[2] The Proggy collection became very popular among programmers and system administrators.

gollark: Syncthing is, borgbackup could run over P2P transports fine.
gollark: <@312591385624576001> borgbackup or syncthing can do that, probably other stuff.
gollark: This is unhelpful. I mostly just arbitrarily get bored at some point on larger projects.
gollark: And the train generation neural network.
gollark: Text is just lists of characters, it's fine.
