Saluton Thomas :) Please, bottom-post next time, as per list uses. And personally I would love a real name too, but that's up to you. I've used only a nick for years and nobody told me otherwise...

It looks good in the page I've found in Google. I find it less "formal" than Deja Vu Sans, but I don't know if that makes it better or worse. It looks good and I'll test it in my Linux. My only doubt is about hinting (and subpixel rendering), so I'll have to test, and about the license of the font. Thanks for pointing! > Dejavu Sans Monoand Bitstream Vera Sans Mono are practically identical > and both are good coding fonts, but they don't do well below 10pt. I find them pretty good at 10 points for menus and other screen text. For editing I use 12 points. In fact, had I a bigger monitor, I'll go to 14 points, probably. At 10 points they're a bit hard for programming. > On Windows (XP) I don't think that any programming font is as crisp > and readable as Courier although I hate how similar its parentheses > and braces look. Back when the number of non-bitmaps fonts was very small (or just 0) under X Window I always used Courier. I didn't really liked that, but it was my best bet. Most of my coding on those days was in console, so I used the console font, which was not perfect but was OK. Later, with the humongous quantities of scalable fonts available under X (or Windows, for that matter), I had a hard time choosing. Still, I prefer Deja Vu Sans fonts, they are the easiest to read for me. But I didn't know about Monaco...
