New Proggy fonts

Hey, check out the new Proggy fonts. I've been using Proggy Square for a long time, and highly recommend it for programming. I just noticed he's come out with two new variations, Proggy Small and Proggy Tiny. I think Proggy Small and Tiny are too much even for me at 1600x1200, but I'm trying Proggy Tiny out to see if I can get used to it.

To give an example of why I like these fonts (besides the important fact that they distinguish between 1 (one), I (capital I) and l (lowercase L), and capital O and zero), given a full screen EditPlus window I fit 72 lines of code on the screen using Courier New. Using Proggy Square I fit 98, and using Proggy Tiny I fit 108.

See my ProgrammerFonts page for more.

Thanks for your links and kind words regarding the proggy fonts I thought I'd let u know I've made a few tweaks to proggy tiny and small... nothing major (m,w,h, gt, lt glyphs) but they are a little clearer now.

Check out Andale Mono, too.

I like Andale Mono, actually. I'd like to compare it to the Proggy fonts again, but I don't have it on my computer since I reformatted
