You're right. Andale Mono is a good typeface for monospace purposes. It's taller and narrower than Lucida Console, and I stepped up to 12 point, cutting my window height from 99 to 92 (with a two-high taskbar + quick-launch bar). Andale Mono also has a dotted / slashed zero, so for programmers, I'd say it's excellent. I still prefer the aspect ratio of Lucida Console, so for now I'm going to keep two shortcuts in my quick-launch bar, one for starting rxvt with each of these fonts.
