- For large amounts of run-on text (such as text messages or documentation)
- this is the world's worst font--very small characters (only 9 pixels
- high), fixed-width, and the character size relative to their character
- cell is extremely large--making readability extremely poor.
-
- However, if you are like me and like using a lot of white space (my
- typical program as around 65-75% whitespace/comments, determined by
- counting semicolons in the C-code verses total lines in the file), then
- this font is perfect--it puts the most amount of information onto the
- screen at one time as possible. And since I'm a firm believer that we
- don't have to live with code that fits into one TTY-screen's worth, and
- that C code was born to be s p r e a d o u t w i t h l o t s o f
- w h i t e s p a c e, then the readability of your code with this font
- is perfectly fine.

- And I got a little dot in the middle of the 0 (zero), to distinguish it
- from the O (capital - 'o').
