Favorite Programming Fonts

I'm staring to experiment with a couple of different programming fonts.  Currently I'm mainly using Inconsolata.

Inconsolata:

Info on the font can be found here: http://www.levien.com/type/myfonts/inconsolata.html

To install this font on Linux (Ubuntu):

  1. Type in a Terminal:
  2. sudo aptitude install ttf-inconsolata
  3. Change your OS Font if you want (see above).

Other Good Programming Fonts:

I'm also a big fan of Lucida Sans.

More info to come as I start noting the pros and cons of various fonts I experiment with.
