I just saw a poster of type samples from Bitstream.  On it was listed
a face called, I think, "Monospaced Century Schoolbook."  This face might
be worth a try;  I've spent an inordinate amount of time staring at ordinary
Adobe New Century Schoolbook screen fonts and I found them to be quite
readable at low rez. 

I've never used this monospaced variant, although I'd like to try it.  
Bitstream people, how about donating these bitmaps to the X Window System 
consortium?  Strike a blow against bitmap blindness everywhere!  :-)
