Any monospaced windows font should work.

"good" is probably in the eye of the beholder... I personally
like either Lucida Console, Courier New (which is narrower
than Courier), and one of the fonts that comes from the
NetTerm download site.  Can't remember which one.

A search of google.com for "free +monospaced +fonts" yeilded
a few good hits.  This one looked particularly promising:

Subject: Non X rxvt fonts


Hi,

I am having a little font problem with rxvt on Windows NT4.0.  I am
NOT using X. When I use the r_ansi-13 font, the left edge of some
characters gets chopped off.  I tried some other fonts, like Andale
Mono and Courier New, but I don't like how they look.  They are way
too wide for me.  When I use cygwin.bat, the raster font 6x13 looks
great.

Does anyone know of a source of a free narrow monospaced font that
works well with rxvt, or how to fix the chopping problem?

I am using rxvt version 2.7.2.

Thanks.                         

                                        Mark
