That has happened to me in the past, whenever I've used Windows (seldom, I must say). I don't know why, and I haven't asked myself why, but *some* fonts render terribly on Windows. It probably has to do with hinting: maybe Windows rely on manual hinting and fonts without hinting information render badly :? Anyway, I'm writing this in my xfce4-terminal using Monaco and I must confess that the font looks great. I can use it at 11 points instead of the 12 points I usually need when using Deja Vu Sans. So far my only complaint is the lowercase "t": the cross bar is a bit low and the letter looks a bit weird, like if the letter didn't belong to the font, and the parentheses are way too round to my likings. Nothing terrible, anyway. Any other character I've tried looks really great. I find the font a bit more comfortable to the eyes for editing emails or code. For the desktop I prefer Deja Vu Sans: I've tried Monaco and looks weird. Thanks for recommending the font, Thomas :))) Oops, those smileys look VERY "smiley" with the semicircly parentheses of Monaco!
