Are there ANY fixed-width fonts that are more readable than Courier?
(Both bitmap and Postscript families would be appreciated.)
The other stroke fonts like Letter Gothic are pretty hard on the eyes too.
The only truly decent fixed-width font I've seen outside of old typewriters
is Sun's default screen font "Gallant", which only exists at 19 point(!)
as a bitmap....
