Recommended Fonts for Programming? [closed]

What fonts do you use for programming, and for what language/IDE? I use Consolas for all my Visual Studio work, any other recommendations?

Solution 1:

Either Consolas (download) or Andale Mono (download). I mostly use Andale Mono. I wrote an article about programming fonts a long time ago, I think Consolas wasn't even out yet.

I find that typing Illegal1 = O0 is a good test of suitability.

Solution 2:

I've really fallen in love with Droid Sans Mono.

Solution 3:

I really really like DejaVu Sans Mono. It is very clean and easy on the eyes.

+1 for Monaco

Just beautiful and I find I can read it for hours on end.
