I have switched to using Liberation as my fixed-width (terminal)
font, and it is quite nice for this. mscorefonts vs. Liberation depends
on your use case, and personal preferences. I like Liberation better
for daily use, but mscorefonts are typically necessary because of
the prevalence of their use on the web.
