The article says of Consolas: "Too bad it’s not free … if it was, it would be #1 on this list."<p>Consolas actually can be downloaded for free, legally. If you're on Windows, you can download an installer for the font directly from Microsoft at:<p><a href="http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=22e69ae4-7e40-4807-8a86-b3d36fab68d3&#38;displaylang=en" rel="nofollow">http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=22e...</a><p>If you're on a Mac, slightly more effort is required.

You can just right-click the XML File Format Converter installer, "Show Package Contents," and navigate to the font installer package.
