I've always wanted to find the most compact and readable font myself. Just never spent the time looking.
Well today I did a bit of searching, and found some fonts that are more compact than at least Courier New http://z505.com/cgi-bin/qkcont/qkcont.cgi?p=Compact-Readable-Fonts Save about twice as much screen space if you just choose the right compact font. Courier new seems to waste a lot of space between lines. | > > There is a reason why the whole compiler sources are lower case: the | > > sources are rather complex with a lot of nested ifs etc. so we use a | > > very high screen resolution to edit the source.
