Free Font Friday 3-18-05
I like a nice monospace font for telnetting into Echo and the Well. Sometimes I do my day job copy editing in a monospaced font, if I'm feeling persnickety. This one looks good.
Monospatial also looks promising. They were designed by Manfred Klein, who's in his 70s and cranks out a couple of new fonts a week. I'm half that and I feel like I accomplished something if I cook my own dinner.
He has a billion other free fonts on TypOasis, and there's a nice interview.
Rock on, Mr. Klein. Thanks for the fonts!

Fonts.... *groans in pleasure*
Bitstream Vera Sans Mono. Monospace and free (open source, actually, so you can remix it if you like).
There is no substitute.
Do these work on Windows? I've been to
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/ttf-bitstream-vera/1.10/
before, but with the .gz I figured they were just for Unixes.
Mr. McManus says this:
"The answer is YES!"
So snarf away, Windows peoples!
