Those Proggy fonts were a great find. I'm loving those "CRISP" ones. Thanks for pointing them out to me.

Bitstream Vera Sans Mono - A beautiful antialiased monospaced font that looks great in Emacs too, you will never try another font.

Keith, how many lines of code do you have in your editor ? (ProggyTiny? What screen resolution? What editors do you use?)
Keith (http://keithdevens.com/) wrote:
I currently use EditPlus, and I run at 1600x1200. If I fullscreen my editor, with ProggyTiny I get about 112 lines on screen. Here's a table:
| Font name | Approx lines |
| Courier New 9pt (the default) | 74 |
| Courier New 8pt | 80 |
| ProggyClean | 86 |
| Andale Mono 8pt | 93 |
| ProFont | 102 |
| ProggySquare | 102 |
| ProggySmall | 112 |
| ProggyTiny (my font of choice) | 112 |
| Terminal 6pt | 140 (but that's too small at my resolution) |
That's enough for now. Just as a warning about those results, it's possible I have old versions of any of the Proggy fonts besides the one I use, which is ProggyTiny.
Two more things: 1. I already had the Bitstream Vera fonts linked from the fonts page, btw. 2. The URL on the page for the Proggy fonts is old, but still works. The new url is ProggyFonts.com.

Wow, editplus is also my favorite editor, so welcome in the club, I heard that even Harry Fuecks uses it
It's nearly perfect, I miss a class browser in it, when I have more than one class in a file, Function List doesn't work to well. I also miss a php parser that would display syntax errors in my code. I have in user tools 'php parser' with command 'd:\php-5.0.0\php.exe' and path '-e -l "$(FilePath)"', but it won't tell me on which line the error is, it tells only if there is a syntax error or not.
Regarding fonts, I use ProFont for Windows since a few months, I have 68 lines at 1280x1024, but today I am testing ProggyTiny and 82 lines really rox (94 lines in full screen).

Gonna give ProggySmall a run.
