ADMINS: Please keep this sticky! This will help anyone who needs decent monospaced fonts and high readability in their code!
I am offering up some links to those of you who code in DBPro (and C#, etc). These are for fonts that I have found useful for just that purpose AND ARE FREE!
Apple][ and Apple][ GS Fonts and : the 40-column and 80-column fonts (smallest in 6pt), best readability in 12!
(NOTE: The FIRST set are better for coding, as the GS fonts are good, but tend to NOT be fixedwidth...)

Personal Note...
I coded UCSD Pascal on the Apple][s that my high school had!
Single player TicTacToe vs the Computer using Turtle Graphics
for the game board and scoreboard! Thus began my coding career!
Windows & Mac fonts: Another decent place for fixedwidth fonts is 1001Fonts-- I also make fonts, too, and I upload them here!
http://www.1001fonts.com/
Click on the "Typewritten" link for many 'typewriter-style' fonts, though many are not very good for coding-- "Envy Code R" is a decent one. (I like slashes in my zeroes! LOL )
Another resource I use to find GREAT FIXEDWIDTH (or Mono-Spaced) fonts is:
http://www.lowing.org/fonts/! This is one of a select few locations that offer additional links to other fonts. These too are FREE!
BEWARE!
Some of these fonts, especially many Unicode fonts, typically swap the slash
for a struck-through W. I have a method to commenting my source code,
and an odd pair of funny-looking Ws do not make for easy reading...
Also, when transferring any Mac programming source (Pascal, C++, Etc.)
to Windows can make the text look almost unreadable, as Mac tends to use
special characters to represent ellipses, TM (R) (C) and others, that
Windows cannot properly translate...
