His excellent choice: TheSansMonoCondensed, designed by Berlin-based Dutch type designer Luc(as) de Groot, and sold by LucasFonts and elsewhere. When Olav Martin Kvern designed Real World InDesign (he did version 1.5 by himself I came onboard for version 2, if I recall), he knew he’d need a good monospaced font for code samples (scripting, XML, and that kind of thing). At 12 points, these fonts are all 12 pitch. Notice that every line has the same length because each of these has the same “pitch” - that is, the number of characters that will fit in an inch.
Here is a list of some of the most common monospaced fonts (in other words, the ones that I had sitting on my computer because of the Mac OS or MS Office or who knows what): Instead, if you need a monospaced font - for writing code or something like that - you want to try something else. But you wouldn’t really use that, would you? (Well, perhaps in a cheezy direct mail piece that you wanted to look typewritten… but not in a book or magazine or anything professional-looking.) The most famous of all, of course, is the faux-typewriter style Courier (or Courier New or some other version of Courier). Monospaced fonts are faces in which each character has the same width.
