This page has some random info about programming fonts, Im a fan of small, readable bitmap fonts.
GohuFont
See: http://font.gohu.org
One that stands out as being one of the best is GohuFont, which I find better then Dina and Montecarlo - which are similar but not quite as easy to distinguish characters at small sizes.
triskweline
See: http://www.netalive.org/tinkering/triskweline
This is a really nice font and is quite distingtive though not as compact as GohuFont.
The main downside of this font is there is no bold version.
I ended up making some minor edits for better use for programming (using fontforge).
- changed encoding from winroman to iso8859 (for some reason Ubuntu didnt show the font without re-encoding)
- slashed zero - essential for a programming font!
- accentuate lowercase 'L' - not to confuse with 1
- accentuate punctuation characters: ` ’ ,
... also to tell apart from similar characters.
