Curious as to why this site shows a “Registered domain / Geregistreerd domein” page and no content when cookies are disabled. What is it about this page that cries out for persistent client-side storage?

I&#x27;ve been using &quot;Hack&quot; for monospace across my system since I found it on HN a few months ago. It claims to be &quot;A typeface designed for source code&quot;. I use it for terminal with iTerm2+zsh and editing with MacVim and IntelliJ. I&#x27;m not particularly sensitive about fonts, but since the moment I dropped it in I&#x27;ve not been annoyed by anything, and it seems to look pretty nice.<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;sourcefoundry.org&#x2F;hack&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;sourcefoundry.org&#x2F;hack&#x2F;</a>

I used to use Inconsolata-g pretty much all the time, even had that in my css for the browser so it would always use Inconsolata-g for github&#x2F;bitbucket code blocks.<p>I&#x27;ve switched to Fira Mono since then and couldn&#x27;t be happier. It feels like my type of font, very well designed, every letter is distinguishable and very readable.<p>Plus, who doesn&#x27;t love the &quot;@&quot; and &quot;&amp;&quot; in Fira Mono?! :)

You should definitely add Anonymous Pro to the list! <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.marksimonson.com&#x2F;fonts&#x2F;view&#x2F;anonymous-pro" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.marksimonson.com&#x2F;fonts&#x2F;view&#x2F;anonymous-pro</a>

I&#x27;d like to see all font previews in the same format with mouseover for comparison.

I switched to verdana a couple of years ago and am very happy with that.<p>Mono space fonts are hard to read, especially when skimming. So verdana just makes the whole experience of looking at my code more enjoyable and natural.

I used to use Neep Alt, back when bitmap fonts made sense and screens had relatively low resolution. I found it incredibly readable.<p>These days, I just use the standard DejaVu Sans Mono for everything.

The layout and operation of this page are very frustrating.
