Is there any bitmap (non-true type) version of the Bitstream Vera Sans
Mono font? On my display most True Type fonts in Emacs are not very
sharp.
Regards,
August

Does anyone have a good idea about a particular font which is easy
to read and does not strain the eyes?
I like Andale Mono, which is a free Microsoft font. You can't
download it
from Microsoft any more, but I think you can get it from SourceForge
or I
could e-mail you a copy. It's freely distributable as long as it's
supplied
as the original self-installing EXE accompanied by a copy of the EULA.
Another alternative is "Bitstream Vera Sans Mono", which is available
from
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/ttf-bitstream-vera/1.10/
Like the other fonts people are recommending, it is a Sans Serif font
(easier to read, especially at small sizes), and like Andale Mono it
has very distinct differences between 0 and O and l, I and 1,
(especially useful for O and 0, which are very close on the keyboard
and easy to accidentally hit).
