I use Pragmata as my programming font. It isn't free, but I've used it every day for years, so it certainly has justified its cost. Visiting his site, I see there's now a pro version, so I'll have to upgrade. http://www.fsd.it/fonts/pragmatapro.htm
I find Droid Sans Mono really good, although it could use better distinction between Zero and Oh.
Here's a version with slashed zero (there's also another version with dotted zero from the same author): http://blog.cosmix.org/2009/10/27/a-slashed-zero-droid-sans-...
There really is no other choice.

That's a really impressive font actually. I don't suppose there's any kind of trial version you're aware of? I don't want to splash out that kind of money unless I'm sure I'll keep using it.
I don't wish to troll, but I see this a lot and I can't for the life of me figure out how anyone needs to give this any more thought than 'monospace, next question?', despite many explanations each time. Can someone shed some light on any advantages they feel are of a reasonably significant importance, and why? I mean, I can see plenty of advantages, but they're all so negligible they're not worth even the time it ta…
90% of it is really just how purdy it is. Picking the 'right' font will make you feel better when you stare at it all day. It's like how functionally, you could compose a 6000 word essay in comic sans, but really rather not. But in other cases, depending on your display size/setup, I guess there will be advantages to certain fonts. Now, mind you, the 10 on this list are all 'good' so you won't really see it between t…

My IDE is misconfigured, and for html/css code uses Arial, or some other proportional font. It's just painful to watch! The non grid alignment, randomness, just makes it more distracting to me. Perhaps if I was exposed to it for a long er period of time, a week as you suggested, this uneasiness will slowly fade. But, let me ask you: What's that you find so good about it? More content in less space? Why won't you go b…
I'm with OP on the issue --- proportional font for code. I find it easier to read. It goes out if its way to go out of my way. Why would proportional font be easier to read? No idea, honestly. May be related to fact I read a lot of non-code (documents and fiction) as well, and those almost always come in proportional fonts.
I'm in love with Meslo https://github.com/andreberg/Meslo-Font works great both on my iTerm as well as in TextMate. What makes this font special is the L/M/S variations in the leading (line height). Give it a try, you won't regret!
