Both only work from a pure select list (I think, I'll go check now... Font Manager, yes it renders with 12 on up... SlickEdit *will* take input into box), our Apps never do ComboBoxes, thus not thinking that any exist becomes an Olde Habit. Very much better. I was seduced by the Font Manager. @Damien: The Windows Font Manager, and SlickEdit, at least.

It almost replaced Proggy Tiny as my favourite coding font. There's a little problem with jEdit though; the line height doesn't seem to be right, causing the lines to overlap a pixel or two. Any ideas on how to fix it? I'm using the TTF version on Linux. Very nice! It almost replaced Proggy Tiny as my favourite coding font.
