What is your favourite font for use in a code editor?
Do you prefer antialiased or bitmap display for it? What size?..I could never find a good fixed-width font for an editor. There were a few I liked, like Miniml's Standard set but they didn't have broad enough glyph coverage for my needs.

I use Lucida Console on windows and Monaco on the mac, but would prefer something din-like that looks good in small size.

http://damieng.com/blog/2007/11/…I really like Droid Sans, but on stupid Windows XP it doesn't get displayed properly. If I turn on ClearType or whatever its called, the font shape is way off. It only displays properly in Flash at like 13 pt. In FlexBuilder and everywhere else it's too blurry at that size.
