Monospaced Font Test

I am using this to test various monospaced fonts.  I am using Windows 8, so these may not appear on other types of computers.

Here is my test phrase, first in the default font.

(Courier formatted). The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisici elit, sed eiusmod tempor incidunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. The job requires extra pluck and zeal from every young wage earner. 0123456789

(Consolas). The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisici elit, sed eiusmod tempor incidunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. The job requires extra pluck and zeal from every young wage earner. 0123456789


(Courier css). The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisici elit, sed eiusmod tempor incidunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. The job requires extra pluck and zeal from every young wage earner. 0123456789


(Courier New). The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisici elit, sed eiusmod tempor incidunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. The job requires extra pluck and zeal from every young wage earner. 0123456789


(DejaVu Sans Mono). The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisici elit, sed eiusmod tempor incidunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. The job requires extra pluck and zeal from every young wage earner. 0123456789


(Fixedsys). The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisici elit, sed eiusmod tempor incidunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. The job requires extra pluck and zeal from every young wage earner. 0123456789


(Lucida Console). The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisici elit, sed eiusmod tempor incidunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. The job requires extra pluck and zeal from every young wage earner. 0123456789


(QuickType Mono). The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisici elit, sed eiusmod tempor incidunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. The job requires extra pluck and zeal from every young wage earner. 0123456789


(QuickType II Mono). The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisici elit, sed eiusmod tempor incidunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. The job requires extra pluck and zeal from every young wage earner. 0123456789


(Terminal). The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisici elit, sed eiusmod tempor incidunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. The job requires extra pluck and zeal from every young wage earner. 0123456789

=============

Conclusion: Consolas does not display, for whatever reason. Courier is the same as Courier New and QuickType Mono is the same as QuickType II Mono. DejaVu Sans Mono looks the best. Note the funky looking lower case L.
