Last week, Adobe launched the monospaced Open Source font [Wayback] Source Code Pro designed by [Wayback] Paul D. Hunt.
It is a follow-up of the (also designed by Paul) [Wayback] Source Sans Pro family of Open Source Fonts which got released early last month.
I did a quick look to see if it would get the same number of vertical lines as Lucida Console does at 8 points.
Too bad, as the general font design is awesome.
One big missing thing is italic/oblique, which is often used in code editors. Hopefully a future version will include those.
For embedding source code examples in documentation, it is very legible, so I will keep it installed on my system.
You can try Source Code Pro yourself as well: it is available [Wayback] on SourceForge – that also hosts [Wayback] Open@Adobe – [Wayback] on GitHub, where you can fork it, as well as [Wayback] on Google Web Fonts, [Wayback] on typekit, and [Wayback] on WebINK.
