Monospaced Programming Fonts

Anonymous 12 - serifs... meh
Anonymous Pro 14 - serifs... meh
Bitstream Vera Sans Mono 12 - almost identical to DejaVu Sans Mono
Consolas 14 - fuzzy
Courier New - looks dated compared to others
DejaVu Sans Mono 12 - almost identical to Bitstream Vera Sans Mono
Droid Sans Mono 12 - a bit more bold than DejaVu Sans Mono or Bitstream Vera Sans Mono
Inconsolata 14 - fuzzy
Lucida Console 14 - big and bold - size 12 is yuck
Monaco 12 - not a fan
Terminus - horrible, uninstalled

size 10 = 120 chars wide - Perfect! That's where I line break.
size 12 = 98 chars wide
size 14 = 88 chars wide

I've settled on Droid Sans Mono 12 10 for now.

Any others I'm missing?
