As much as I
like
Bitstream Vera, the font has a problem: it's too light on
Windows 2000. Text in 12 point Vera Sans
Mono is a vast grey field rather than crisp black text.
The problem is Windows 2000's font
anti-aliasing. Windows XP does a much
better job. The image above shows an example; lowercase 'x'. Notice
the absence of black pixels in Win2k?
I wonder why Microsoft's own fonts don't have this
problem; different hinting?
