A collection of succinct code examples,
all free, beautiful and potentially gold-dust!
My intention is to provide simple, free access to useable solutions to common but difficult programming problems.
I have treated the creation of each class as a puzzle and hopefully have evolved good solutions.
If you know any better solutions then please e-mail me so that everyone can share your wisdom!
A good place to start is the Site Map
Programmer Font
For any programmers out there who like to use a monospaced font
and also want to have as much legible text on the screen at once as possible
I have created the following (4kB) Windows Fonts which you can download:
The Programmer Font has been designed to be as small as possible
but with distinctly different characters for commonly illegible ones: 
and sensible looking common coding characters: 
The Programmer Wide Font has been designed 
You can tell if you're pixels are being stretched by looking at the image below:
The above image is simply alternating black and white pixels. If you see alternating darker and lighter areas, your horizontal Hardware Display resolution isn't divisible by your Software Screen Resolution and this Wide version of the Font will be more legible.
It has the same distinctly different characters for commonly illegible ones: 
and sensible looking common coding characters: 
Normally to install a Font you can use the Font icon in the Control Panel or just copy the .FON file into C:\Windows\Fonts
From Microsoft Developer Studio V6 you can set the font in [Tools Menu][Options][Format Tab][Category]="Source windows" [Font]="Programmer"
From Microsoft Developer Studio .net you can set the font in [Tools Menu][Options][Environment][Fonts and colors][Text Editor][Font]="Programmer"
The following button will download a single .fon file containing both versions of the font:
