I had a friend who used Comic Sane whenever he could. He would print his reports written in Comic Sans, design covers with Comic Sans, read ebooks written it Comic Sans.
He died recently.
Now, as a memorial to him, I use Comic Sans in my EMACS.

Doesn't TextMate default to some Comic Sans type font? LOL RUBY ON RAILS FAD
In 1995 Microsoft released the font Comic Sans, originally designed for comic book style talk bubbles containing informational help text. Since that time the typeface has been used in countless contexts from restaurant signage to college exams to medical information. These widespread abuses of printed type threaten to erode the very foundations upon which centuries of typographic history are built.
While we recognize the font may be appropriate in a few specific instances, our position is that the only effective means of ending this epidemic of abuse is to completely ban Comic Sans.

Lol, TrueType. Why would you want to waste all your screen estate with a huge, blurry font type?
I keep telling you guys; Dina, or ProFont in a pinch.

Fine, I'll use a vector font when I print my code, which normally happens about never.
Until then I'll enjoy my superior crisp, small fonts that are hand-crafted with attention to every pixel for maximum contrast and readability.
I like Consolas, but at certain font sizes the dots above lower-case ``i'' and ``j'' start to topple off. What the fuck? Does this happen with the Windows renderer?

Tixus and Anorexia are some very slick-looking small fonts.
Also, you can convert Windows bitmap fonts to .pcf files to use in Linux, look around.

Yeah, I love tiny fonts. I sit in a weird position, I can't help but lean forward with my face up to the screen, so smaller fonts are the best for me.

Any monitor, same resolution = same percentage of screen real estate.
