How about bitstream vera mono sans - public license form what I understand and I use it in notepad++ and like it a lot this excerpt from wikepedia: ************** *Vera* is a group typeface <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typeface> (font) with a liberal license <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/License>. It was designed by Jim Lyles <https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jim_Lyles&action=edit&redlink=1> from Bitstream <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitstream_Inc.>, and it is closely based on Bitstream Prima <https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bitstream_Prima&action=edit&redlink=1>, for which Lyles was also responsible. It is a TrueType <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TrueType> font with full hinting instructions <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TrueType#Hinting_language>, which improve its rendering quality on low-resolution devices such as computer monitors. The font has also been repackaged as a Type 1 PostScript font <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PostScript_fonts#Type_1>, called *Bera*, for LaTeX <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LaTeX> users.[1] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitstream_Vera#cite_note-1> Vera consists of serif <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serif>, sans-serif <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sans-serif>, and monospace <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monospaced_font> fonts. The Bitstream Vera Sans Mono typeface in particular is suitable for technical work, as it clearly distinguishes 'l' (lowercase L) from '1' (one) and 'I' (uppercase i), and '0' (zero) from 'O'. ***************** -Gary On Mon, Sep 28, 2015 at 11:49 AM, Peter Hutten-Czapski <ph...@sr...> wrote: > Hi Dennis > > Good point yes of course they are not monospaced > I was merely providing information on what screen and pdf fonts are > currently used in OSCAR labs, > actually font faces if you want to be pedantic. > > BTW I printed my thesis out on an 8 pin dot matrix which did not support > descenders. > Ah those were the days where pretty much all computer fonts (including > Apple II) were monospaced > > ================ > Peter Hutten-Czapski > Haileybury Ontario > > "The attitude that ‘if rural people want these services they’ll have to > come to the city to get them’ is simply not acceptable…” (Newbery, 1999) > > Before printing, think about the environment.
