Fonts...

I use Courier New 12pt bold to read the NGs, but that's getting boring,
does anyone have a suggestion as to what font i should be looking for?

I've tried fixedsys, but that one's non-scalable, i really want a
fixed-pitch TT-font. 
(gee, talk about being picky! :-))

Try on "Monotype.com" for size, though Micros*ft now ships that as "Andale
Mono."

If you can find a freeware version of "Letter Gothic", that might suit you.

Lucida Console. It's the font you get in DOS windows from installing
Microsoft Plus! on Win95, and I think on Win98 by default. As for WinNT ...
well ... it will work if you can get hold of it - I've no idea if it has it
by default - the only real experience of NT I've had is NT 4 Workstation at
college.

Kind Regards,

Well, i've tried it, but it doesn't read very relaxed, the font just has
too much spacing between the characters.

Thanks for the suggestion, though.

I have the font, but i've got the same problem with that one, there's too
much white in between the characters...
And it's really hard to explain what it is what you're looking for while i
don't even know what it should look like...

Wanna know something? It will work on any platform, as long as it supports
True Type Fonts.
