Barred 7.

Still no joy in looking for a "normal" font.
It might have to be a custom article.

It has taken a long time for you to work that out. :)

(just seasoned, maybe ;)).

Lots of salt with a touch of chilli.

I should hope not and no one has ever called me reputable (and lived. :) )

Yeah there are a few like that.

I might give this one a whirl:
http://www.silsenegal.org/en/AndikaSEB

I just have no idea how to get POV-Ray to use it.  Dunno what the "show more
fonts" link does for me, and I tried looking for TimRom - it's in the include
directory - so I dropped Andika there... then restarted POV-Ray, but it's not in
the font list...   :(

Do I need to edit a .ini file?

The font selection dialog box of POV-Ray for Windows essentially lists
all(*) _monospaced_ fonts currently installed. Andika is a proportional
font, so you can't select it.

The editor preferences dialog is part of the 3rd party component used
for the GUI editor (CodeMax), and the restriction to monospaced fonts is
hard-coded in there. (The actual font selection dialog is a Windows
component.)


(*Almost all, that is; printer fonts and fonts with non-horizontal
writing directions are also excluded.)

At 30 GBP I'll stick with Times New Roman. :)

I have no idea, actually.  I use the default font in KWrite for 
openSUSE, and the settings dialog just says "Monospace."  Strangely, it 
resembles Consolas, even though I'm not using a Microsoft OS.

________________________

I am more conscientious about the monospace font I use in my Object 
Collection documentation.  In the past I've just used Courier New 
because I'm confident that most users would have that font; however, it 
is hardly the best looking monospace font out there.  Consolas is hands 
down the best looking to me, primarily because it's the only monospace 
font I have with letter spacing that looks good when interspersed with 
proportional text.  However, this uniqueness means that for me to switch 
to Consolas would mean some ugly-looking text if the user did not have 
this particular font installed.  Therefore, I've made the somewhat 
regrettable decision to list a bunch of fonts in the CSS file with 
Courier New near the end; kern whatever font actually shows up in the 
user's browser; and exclude Consolas from the list, because the kerning 
ruins Consolas.  :(

My current list is Lucida Console, Liberation Mono, Courier New, DejaVu 
Sans Mono, and monospace, in that order.

I would be spared this dilemma if CSS had some way of changing a 
selector depending on which font happens to be installed.  I like Consolas.

So far, I've gotten no feedback on my Object Collection contributions, 
so my selections must be acceptable either way.

But it doesn't have a slash through the zero.

Speaking of Which...  I recently learned the origin of the dash in the 7...

Moses was coming down from Mt. Sinai with the two stone tables with the 
Ten Commandments on them and started to tell them to the Israelites: "1. 
You shall have no other gods before Me.
2. You shall not make idols.
3. You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain.
4. Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
5. Honor your father and your mother.
6. You shall not murder.
7. You shall not commit adultery.
...Then someone from the audience yelled: "Cross the seven off! Cross 
the seven off!"
