    Courier New in Windows. I wish I had the old X11 "Misc" font though. Beats any other font so far when it comes to editing/programming. -- Ich bin Joachim von Hassel, und ich bin Pilot der Bundeswehr. Welle: Erdball - F104-G Starfighter

                      VS6 - Courier 10pt VS7 - Courier New 9pt. But having seen Ian Darling's message above ^, I think I'll switch to Lucida Console.

Woohoo, a convert! :-D I think the point should be made that almost any sans-serif font is easier to read on-screen than a serif one, but serif fonts are usually better on printed media. That's why I use Lucida Console rather than Courier - I find it much less difficult to look at on screen, and it's the one that turns up on just about every Windows box.

                                        Courier New, 9 pt. I've tried the other fixed-width fonts, and it just doesn't look like code unless it's Courier New.
