Top Programming Fonts
I love 'Bitstream Vera Sans Mono'. I've tried tons of fonts, but always fall back on that. I use Ruby a lot, and it complements the language nicely…

Indeed, I've been using this font since watching the railscasts by Ryan Bates and it's great. I was using the standard Monaco before.
I don't know why but switching to a new font made me a happier programmer!
