It's funny you should post this. Just recently (as in this weekend) I stumbled across demerphq's homenode, which includes a link to an informative site listing fonts for programmers.
It's something I'd never really thought about before. I had been using Courier all along, and it never crossed my mind that there might be better suited fonts out there. About my only requirement for a font was that it be fixed-width!
So since Monday, I've been trying out a new set of fonts called Proggy. If I had to pick today though, I would go back to Courier, but I will wait to see if this font grows on me. I do like that it puts a slash through zeros, clearly distinguishing them from the letter O. That's about the only complaint I have with Courier.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
