on this note, I too have old eyes, yet find the bitmapped profont at 9pt easier to read than any of the truetype fonts i tried.
9pt is a little small, so does anyone know of any bitmapped fonts that are optimised for 11 or 12pt text?
TIA

I think Apples Monaco is quite fine at 12pt... Courier, too, though it's not a bitmap font.
And... well, if ProFont 9pt is a _little_ too small for you then I guess this one is probably too _big_ for your taste: Being a long time Atari user, I always felt that the Atari ST system font is very readable. Someone converted it to a bitmap font for the classic MacOS years ago and I recently converted that one to a OSX compatible version (at least it works on _my_ system).
This is what it looks like in TextMate when set to 16pt (and this is the only size): http://www.tobiasjung.net/storage/atarifont.png
And here's the font file: http://www.tobiasjung.net/storage/AtariSTSystemfont.dfont.zip
