I wish these perennial programming font lists would make clear up-front which fonts are designed with anti-aliasing (or ClearType) in mind.

I don't like the fuzzy look of anti-aliased fonts, plus I typically work with two monitors, one in landscape mode, and one rotated 90 degrees for portrait mode. I don't think ClearType works correctly in this case anyhow.

So far I haven't found anything I like better than BitStream Vera Sans Mono.

Hey mate, I've got some free time tonight so I will go back over every font and update them with that information. Thanks for the feedback.
