 What programming font do you use and why?
adamzochowski: For code and console I love pixel fonts, so:
  Terminal 6px (included with all Windows)
  Envy Code A 7px 
  http://damieng.com/creative/typography/envy-code-aI can't stand blurry fonts for code (especially since, at small sizes, text looks a blotch of blur). So, if I want small fonts (such as 6pixels by 8pixels) it better be pixel crystal clear hand tweaked.  A font can do anti-aliasing or LCD based sub-pixeling, but that is more towards book reading / open office, than coding.
