What is your font of choice for programming?

[Wampus]

Consolas size 9 is really good. I find it easy to read and scan quickly.

Where do you put a font file to have glbasic see it?

In the main system fonts folder. Only certain fonts show up though. Possibly a whitelist for font types.

Mine is "Amiga" which mimics the Amiga DOS font

I hated the Amiga topaz font, probably thanks to seeing the same font day in day out for years. When WB2 came out & gave you the chance to change it easily (rather than using hacks) I was in 7th heaven

Consolas (size 11) looks best for me.
And I think GLBasic only lists fonts flagged as mono / fixed spacing.

I just went through trying to find the best colour combinations, which is so tedious.
Light on dark, or dark on light? Arrrg!  Tried them all, here's my final results:

Courier New 10 is the font I use in every programming IDE.

I don't like Courier (New) because of all the hooks and serifs. Cosolas is a font since Vista, that's not a pixel font, but true-type, which means, it scales and prints perfectly. also supports AA and cleartype.
I prefer Proggy Square: http://www.proggyfonts.com/, but it's a but misleading for German umlaut characters sometimes.

I just tried consolas but hated the capital N and M on it at any size under 13. I see others are not looking the same as mine so maybe its a windows setting issue.

So its back to lucida console size 8 for me

Windows with font smoothing & cleartype can cause issues, everything was fine on my old monitor but I had the same problem as you (not just with consolas either). Playing with the cleartype settings sorted it out but wasn't fun to do

 I use Consolas 12 Regular
