We all write code using monospaced fonts and the "m" character often (depending on the character combination) looks awful in monospaced fonts. There are other characters that tend to look bad but "m" has the worst reputation in my book.

I'm curious if anyone agrees with me on this.

I just use a good monospace font that lets you distinguish the different characters.

Verdana is quite good, though I personally never had too many problems with the default of Currier New.

A good monospace font is Consolas:

I like ProFont. I have no complaints about the m.

@Oded: I love Verdana but I don't think it's a monospaced font.

Personally I'm fond of using the Consolas font for coding.
