That article doesn't say which fonts have bold and italic variants.  Do any of the free fonts mentioned have bold/italic?  On my system I have 4 mono-spaced fonts;  only Courier and Courier New have bold/italic variants.  Andale Mono and Monoco are without variants.

No, no synthesizer, but here is a nice list of monospaced fonts: http://hivelogic.com/articles/top-10-programming-fonts/

OS X (since 10.6 IIRC) comes with Menlo, a very nice Vera clone, with good antialiasing
