'''ProFont''' is a [[monospace]] [[typeface|font]] available in many formats. It is intended to be used for programming in [[Integrated development environment|IDE]] environments and it is available in [[Bitmap font|bitmap]] and [[TrueType]] versions for various [[Platform (computing)|platforms]].

Originally developed as [[shareware]] by Andrew Welch<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.info-mac.org/viewtopic.php?f=135&t=3569&p=3570&hilit=profont#p3570 | title=ProFont 2.2 -Info-Mac }}</ref> for the [[Apple Macintosh]] in TrueType format, ProFont was intended to have metrics identical with Apple's default [[Monaco (font)|Monaco]] font—resulting in an 80-column by 25-line display in a [[Compact Macintosh]] full screen window—but with additional features desirable for programming, such as a [[slashed zero]] and easily distinguished [[curly brackets]]. ProFont was bundled with the [[BBEdit]] text editor.
