Andale Mono

Bill de hOra has posted a list of notes on how he sets up his development machine. The most interesting thing I saw was this comment:

Install the Andale Mono typeface. Don Box claims Lucida Console starts to work for code onscreen at >14pt and is good for presentations. At under 14pt (which is all programming) andale mono is the most beautiful typeface. It's the only programing typeface I've used for years ...

I did some searching on Google Groups and found that this font doesn't come preinstalled with Windows 2000/XP. It took a little effort, but I did find Andale Mono on the Core Fonts project on SourceForge.

I didn't like it immediately, but it's really starting to grow on me. It's now my default font at home and work.
