Best Code Font

[bobisto]

Can you give your opinion on what is a good code font and which font are you using.
The reason for this is because i use Courier New but it is not the best font. I saw some good font but can't find it. I saw this font on one MSDN TV epizode. Here is the link.

If you have any suggestion about best code font or you know this font from video please reply.

Do a search on Andale Mono. There are still downloads for that. The O's, 0(zero)'s, 1(one)'s, l's, etc. are all easily distinguishable.

Another good one is Vera Sans Mono.

It is not Andale Mono.

Thank you.

Nope. The font shown is neither of the ones I suggested. I found the reference to Andale on a MS developer's blog and went out to find it. I tried a number of monspaced fonts and liked Andale the best. I don't remember one the looked like the one in the video.

I especially like Andale because it looks good a 8pt. (I like to smash as much onto my screen as possible.)

I haven't watched the video, but I use ProFont, except when I need to use some international characters, when I switch to Arial Unicode temporarily.
