I'm glad you've lost your fancy for TTF fonts on the command line,
Stuart, (and in the text editor as well I assume), for everyone knows
that the only fonts that are acceptable for CLI/code/email are bitmap
fonts.  Yes, bitmap fonts, and don't let the graphical environment
sabotage the stark beauty of raw digital contrast.  In a bitmap font,
every pixel is lovingly placed for optimum shape and recognition.  After
all, your screen is just a 2D array of pixels, so why shouldn't your
font be?

BTW, the one true font is LucidaTypewriter.
