# re: Consolas: Our next programming font?

I dont understand why everybody likes fix-width fonts anymore.

xml/html/aspx/xaml... all dont "line up" with fix-width fonts, so whats all the fuss about?

we're quickly getting away from that silly "everything's gotta line up" mentality, lol!

i use trebuchet for all my code windows, and i find it so much easier on the eyes... something about a serifed font and why they use serifed fonts in most books...

I wonder how this, at smaller sizes, will stack up next to my beloved ProFont.
