Here's a good comparison (and vote) of programming fonts: http://www.slant.co/topics/67/~what-are-the-best-programming... Most popular: Source Code Pro http://blogs.adobe.com/typblography/2012/09/source-code-pro.... Monaco, my favorite, comes at #3.
I take this as confirmation of my choice- Consolas. 2nd favorite by a close margin, and it's usually already installed!
Only on Windows Vista/7/8.

What I really like about Source Code Pro is that it has a 'Light' version, which looks absolutely perfect on OSX with its fatty font rendering. Before this, I used to always have t acclimate between Ubuntu and OSX and Windows, but not anymore!

By default that family of fonts almost seems double-spaced to me, otherwise I really like them.

Can a vim nerd respond with how to display-time-remap a normal tilde to another unicode codepoint? There are at least four tilde-like glyphs that may be cast by any middling magician of the Unicode elements: ~⁓〜˜
Looking at src/screen.c, the tilda character is hardcoded. So you'd need to patch it.

Anonymous Pro is not exactly a sans-serif font, but it does look nice.
There's no reason be expecting a sans-serif!

It is surprisingly hard to obtain a consistent font rendering across OSX, Windows and Linux. I had to play with the weight of the fonts, but also the font size (on Windows, my font is 3pt smaller than on OSX...). Irritating, especially when you actually synchronize your configuration files.

So I'm not the only one that is irked by the term "coders" or the even sillier "I wrote a code".
whats wrong with 'coder' - he is someone who writes code. the one i find confusing is 'developer' its vague and pretentious vs. 'programmer' my preferred term - its precisely descriptive, a quality which i would expect programmers to cherish
Yes, a consultant, but what kind? 'I'm a consultant' Yes, but what do people consult you for? 'For when they need consulting' Yes, but about what? Are you a medical consultant, a security consultant, a civil engineer, a financial consultant, legal, something else? [puzzled look] "I'm - a - consultant."
Boring conversation anyway...
This is the second "coders' font" to hit HN today. Personally, I like the font. And its license.
I think this post is a reaction on that other type post because Anonymous Pro is few years old.
