How do you folk manage editing code?

I find that with a fixed width font (courier) I run out of screen space
And with a proportional font the indentation gets messed up because the
default space-width is too narrow.

Hello:
I have just migrated from slack 10.0 to kubuntu 7.04 amd 64. Emacs
was installed using the apt-get system.

In my .Xdefaults on slack, I used the following directive:
Emacs*Font: -adobe-times-bold-i-normal--12-120-75-75-p-68-iso8859-1
and was very happy with the display.

The same 'code' on ubuntu has unhappy results, everything is in italics.
Commenting out that code makes for a nice display, but font is too large
for my preference.

Does anyone have any recommendations?
I used xlsfonts >file to capture the output and tried a few settings,
but nothing pleased me...
thanks
tim
