1. What font do you use/recommend?


I use Apple's MPW font, you can find it here:

ftp://ftp.apple.com/developer/Tool_Chest/Core_Mac_OS_Tools/MPW_etc./ Miscellaneous/MPW_Font.sit.hqx

The only problem is that OS X doesn't "know" it's a mono-spaced font, so Xcode tries to anti-alias it at 9pt and that makes it look terrible. I solved this very easily in Terminal:

defaults write com.apple.xcode AppleAntiAliasingThreshold 9

Now MPW looks just as good in Xcode as it does in BBEdit and CodeWarrior.

I've tried other fonts like ProFont, but I find the MPW font is the best for me.
