With Mac, I like the font of Menlo for text editors. With PC, it's hard for me to find some pretty fixed with font, and I don't like the Courier font that I have to use for emEditor. Could you recommend me some fixed width font that I can download and use for PC? I expect menlo equivalent somewhere, and it would be great if I can learn how to use the font with emacs/win32.

Apple Menlo is basically identical to DejaVu Sans Mono (evidence here), both of which are based on Bitstream Vera Mono. The Deja Vu fonts have a free license, and can be used or modified or whatever. Download it here. (Oops, sorry for the duplicate. I'll make up for it by mentioning some others I like... Inconsolata (though Windows 7's consolas is pretty much the same) LuxiMono ) | ||||

Its not perfect - but I use DejaVu Sans Mono. Its neat and tidy, and I've found one of the easiest fonts to stare at for hours on end. According to http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=653948, Menlo is a modification of Bitstream Vera Sans Mono, so that might suit your needs. The DejaVu family is available at http://dejavu-fonts.org/wiki/Main_Page The Bitsteam family is available at http://www.dafont.com/bitstream-vera-mono.font Both are open source fonts and can be freely downloaded and used. | |||

There is a discussion here about Menlo that mentions Vera Sans Mono and Prima Sans Mono, you could try getting hold of those (the other answer has a link, which I was about to post). This little search brings up some resources I've used before. http://www.google.com/search?q=nice+programming+font Also, Jeff Atwood has a post about Consolas here, where he mentions using Monaco for every ClearType monospace font he can, and the comments have links to other programming fonts. Jeff has a more complete overview of programming fonts here, with visuals of course. | ||||
