What is your font of choice for programming?

Hi, I am curious about which fonts do you guys use for programming.

Mine is "Amiga" which mimics the Amiga DOS font; since it's a bitmap is clear despite being small (GLBasic's IDE font dialog doesn't acknowledge it though, so I had to set it through the registry). I'd rather have a C64 font that was a bitmap and had an extended character set, but alas...

The font I use while programming is a normal windows font, however the font I use in my programs is from the Amstrad CPC 6128.  =D

I currently use the standard one, could you guys post the .font on you choices?
never really thought of that...some fonts might make it better to "see"things

Sure, attached to this message is the Amiga font.
BTW, other fonts I use(d) for programming are Dina and Envy Code A.

The font I like the most on that webpage is the only one (unless it's Monte Carlo maybe) without a download link -- the first one at the top.  O_O

That's my fave on that site too.

I use Lucida Console.
I came. I saw. I played.

I use a font called Consolas, I got it from Microsoft's MSDN site ages ago & comes as an installer rather than just a font file  ;/

Hmm interesting.  I've got bog standard Windows 7 64-bit, haven't installed any new fonts since I got it and that one is on my computer.

Must admit I like it too, just selected it in GLB. :)

I have Consolas on my Windiws 7 64Bit too. M$ must be including it now with Windows.

It was an extra download with Visual Studio 2005 so may have been added with Vista or Win7 later on. I use it in all my IDE's as it was designed for clarity in coding/source code I believe.
