Inconsolata is the poor mans version of the fantastic Consolas... alas, on non-windows platform Consolas looks like shit.
Consolas comes for free with Visual Studio (probably pre-installed on Windows 7/Vista too)
Funny, inconsolata as well doesn't look that great on Windows...

- chipotle_coyote 14y agoConsolas looks just fine on OS X. A licensed version of it comes with BBEdit. The only curious thing about it I've noticed is that it requires good font smoothing--unaliased, it looks absolutely horrible. It's also one of the very few monospaced fonts I've seen that has a true italic.
- starwed 14y agoI think Ubuntu's monospace font has true italic? (I'm not a font expert, though.) http://font.ubuntu.com/#charset-mono-regular-italic http://font.ubuntu.com/#charset-mono-regular-italic
- cpeterso 14y agoGoogle's Droid Sans Mono is a pretty good copy of Consolas: https://www.google.com/webfonts/specimen/Droid+Sans+Mono https://www.google.com/webfonts/specimen/Droid+Sans+Mono
- tripzilch 14y agoYou can get Consolas (and the other 'C' fonts) by installing MS Powerpoint Viewer.
