Given that code is stored as plain ASCII, which contains no meta-data to define tab stops the way word processing documents do, a monospace font is pretty much required if you care about alignment of comments to the right of the code. I've not found a font that I like anywhere near as well as Lucida Console, which comes with Windows (and I've copied it onto my Mac--so sue me). It looks good, but more important, it has a bare minimum of leading between the lines, so for a given font size and window size you can see more lines. Every other mono font I've tried wastes lots of space between lines. And the sample image of Input Mono looks like no exception. -- Ciao, Paul D.
