Developer's Corner / Re: 18 Monospace fonts comparison screenshot

Here is a screenshot of Consolas at a few different point sizes. This is on an HP Pavilion laptop, so if you're looking at this on a CRT or your LCD is BGR instead of RGB this will look lousy to you. As I said above, it is not a good font for non-ClearType displays. If you're on a CRT don't even bother with it; just about any of the others in this comparison will look better.

Nice font comparison! But it doesn't include my two favorite programming fonts: Sheldon Narrow and Consolas. Sheldon Narrow is from the same place as the Sheldon font you included in your roundup, but I find the narrow version easier to read -- and it's smaller too! Consolas is from Windows Vista but is easy to find using Google. I think Consolas looks absolutely amazing on my LCD with ClearType. (But it really needs ClearType; it doesn't look as good as Sheldon Narrow on my CRT.)
