(I'm currently trying to port Luxi mono from Linux to Windows, that's converting Type1 font to TTF, so far no luck, if anyone here has it as a TTF pls PM me so I can take a look, Luxi mono is now my prime suspect as monospace in Linux

You can get a font called Luxi Mono as a TTF via http://oooconv.free.fr/fontooo/index_en.html, following the link to http://oooconv.free.fr/fontooo/packs/ and downloading the AllTrueTypeFonts.zip package.
Hope it's the one you are after.

Thx for the pointer SteveH. This font looks like the one I converted from Type1 to TTF (with mo's help). It looks thin and jagged in under size 14 or so where as the Luxi Mono in Fedora Core 3 is at it's very best in those sizes. On the bright side, it looks like I've finally narrowed my search down to Luxi. If you'd like to see it in Fedora Core 3, PM your email and I'll send you screenshots.

Monospaced font
Have you ever tried Raize ?
It's free. The only problem is that it (unlike Courier New, but like Courier) cannot be anti-aliased regardless of (Win) OS settings ...

I'd been looking, a couple of different times, and I'm glad to say I'm using the Proggy fonts... best one I've seen so far.
Wouldn't it make sense though to have a feature where you could use any font as a monospace font? Since it's monospaced you wouldn't have to worry about kerning and all that, simply place the same letters out on a grid... Am I oversimplifying? Many times I've wished that I could just use arial or tahoma as a monospace, since the characters are pretty readable.

If you have XP, you can try different settings for antialiasing (Control Panel | Display | Appearance | Effects), "Cleartype" looks less jagged, but also a bit fuzzy, making it hard to look at text for longer periods.s_reynisson wrote:It looks thin and jagged in under size 14 or so where as the Luxi Mono in Fedora Core 3 is at it's very best in those sizes.
