Hi, Recently I've switched the main OS, used at work for development, from windows to ubuntu. One of the many customizations I've had to do was searching for a good programming font (on windows I was using Consolas). This is the list of fonts I've found and liked :
Anonymous Pro.ttf consolas.ttf Inconsolata.otf LiberationMono-Regular.ttf LiberationSans-Regular.ttf LiberationSerif-Regular.ttf MONACO.TTF I mostly use Consolas, although the cleartype/sub pixel aliasing is not so good in Ubuntu. Bye, Edward.
