Suggestions for "a programmers font" gratefully received.

I generally use Courier.

Its ugly and old fashioned but it clearly shows the differences between i,l, | and 1 and '' and " and between ' and ` etc.

and spaces are big enough to "see" clearly. :-)

But I could copy and paste to a WP

Never read code in a word processor. Use a proper programmer's editor (and there are loads, most free, each with its supporters) like: vim, emacs, scite, Eclipse, etc....

Not only will the code be clearer with syntax colouring etc but you will have a lot of cursor movement and text operations that you don't get in a word processor (like commenting out a block, or folding/hiding a block inside a loop, auto indenting etc, etc)

HTH,
