I've been using "Hack" for monospace across my system since I found it on HN a few months ago. It claims to be "A typeface designed for source code". I use it for terminal with iTerm2+zsh and editing with MacVim and IntelliJ. I'm not particularly sensitive about fonts, but since the moment I dropped it in I've not been annoyed by anything, and it seems to look pretty nice.<p><a href="http://sourcefoundry.org/hack/" rel="nofollow">http://sourcefoundry.org/hack/</a>
I used to use Inconsolata-g pretty much all the time, even had that in my css for the browser so it would always use Inconsolata-g for github/bitbucket code blocks.<p>I've switched to Fira Mono since then and couldn't be happier. It feels like my type of font, very well designed, every letter is distinguishable and very readable.<p>Plus, who doesn't love the "@" and "&" in Fira Mono?! :)
There's also this Slant article:<p><a href="http://www.slant.co/topics/67/~programming-fonts" rel="nofollow">http://www.slant.co/topics/67/~programming-fonts</a>
You should definitely add Anonymous Pro to the list! <a href="http://www.marksimonson.com/fonts/view/anonymous-pro" rel="nofollow">http://www.marksimonson.com/fonts/view/anonymous-pro</a>
I switched to verdana a couple of years ago and am very happy with that.<p>Mono space fonts are hard to read, especially when skimming. So verdana just makes the whole experience of looking at my code more enjoyable and natural.
This free clone of the fixedsys is just pixelisiuosly crisp and DOS'y:

I used to use Neep Alt, back when bitmap fonts made sense and screens had relatively low resolution. I found it incredibly readable.<p>These days, I just use the standard DejaVu Sans Mono for everything.
