(related to IDE's) I have switched to using the monospace font "Consolas" over the other mono fonts.
( It's easy for me to read, and also has the best contrast of normal to bolded text ) It comes on windows vista, but you can (legally) get it on winXP. ( Looks like it'll work on ubuntu too, but haven't tried it. ) font installer: http://www.urbanfonts.com/blog/download-new-vista-fonts-free/ ( You should be able to uninstall the viewer and keep the fonts. Once you have the ttf's, I think it will work on *nix/mac ) Vista has a couple of useful fonts, here's an image example of each: http://neosmart.net/blog/2006/a-comprehensive-look-at-the-new-microsoft-fonts/ (Here's mine) sans = corbel serif/sans-serif = constantia mono = consolas -- Jake
