And it's still a fucking ugly hack of DejaVu by someone with no sense of style. The large X-height sucks on wide displays where height is at a premium. There's too much leading. The zeroes are ridiculous. The underscores are almost invisible. Pretty much any modern monospace font is better to work with.

I agree that the zero is fugly and the underscores suck big time. Leading is ok for me. But Source Code Pro is still my choice. Tried many, and from time to time I still try some more, and SCP wins them all.

Notebook computer doesn't rotate, my 32" monitors don't rotate, and if you do rotate you get weird colour effects when you move from side to side on monitors with poor vertical viewing angles compared to their horizontal viewing angles.
