It there a windows font out there that can be used with common
development tools/ide's that distorts, to the "extreme" the eye, el,
zero and ohs? I really want those letters made obvious. Has to be a
programming font, not variable spacing. Thanks

Deja Vu Sans Mono fits the bill and is free. I'm using it to read this
message, in fact, so your subject line made it quite easy to verify.

I claim no expertise in fontography (or whatever is the appropriate
term). However, I am using Windows XP Pro SP3, and there is a font is
my c:\Windows\Fonts\ folder called DejaVuSans.ttf, and the lower case
'l' and upper case 'I' seem to be identical, at least to a casual
glance. Also, the numerical '0' and upper case 'O' are nearly, if not
quite, identical. My own experience, again not as a specialist, has
been that for a monospaced font, Letter Gothic has been nearly what I
would like, expect that numerical '0' and upper case 'O' are so close
that computer font scanners might have trouble distinguishing them.

Deja Vu Sans and Deja Vu Sans Mono are quite different from each other.

Look at the 'trouble' letters here:

Excellent. I was not aware that there is so much difference. Thank
you. Without my doing an extensive search (I claim little computer
expertise), is there a source for Deja Vu Sans Mono? (I am willing to
pay value for value.)

Maybe it become a new kind of a class , where each font out there
has a 'distort' version.

Thanks again.
