Hi Damien, Envy Code B is nice!
People also might want to check out the links on the sidebar of jibz's Dina page.
in particular the links to Jeff Atwoods Coding Horror blog:

thanks for the screenshot koreth, at 12pt the Consolas really looks nice, but becomes a bit blurry as it gets smaller.
the main motivation for these bitmapped fonts is to make something that is monospaced and pixel-level tweaked for a very specific small point size. so they aren't appropriate for tasks where you might want larger fonts.

This program is an easy to use but powerful font manager, which allows getting a quick overview of both installed and non installed fonts. It can install and uninstall fonts, and organize them in categories. Some of its features are:
* Supports TrueType and OpenType fonts (Windows 2000/XP required for PostScript OpenType fonts)
* Supports Type1 fonts (Windows 2000/XP required)
* Installation of fonts from a folder (one by one or from a list).
* Installation of fonts temporally (until the program is closed).
* Deletion of installed fonts.
* List of all installed fonts with several display options.
* List of the fonts from a folder with several display options.
* Several options for organizing fonts in categories and managing them.
* It can print a list of all or some of the installed fonts with an example of each font.
* Scratchpad area for testing the look of any font (installed or from a folder).
* Dual English/Spanish version.

Might as well mention two fonts here, Dark Courier and Courier 10 BT. They are infinitely better to view than Courier New, IMO.
I really do like Dina!
