This isn't a recommendation (more of a warning), but I know a guy who uses COMIC SANS as his coding font (and writing font).
Yes, Comic Sans. The guy is a sadist.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Some nice fonts there. Thanks.

I ended up settling on Hack. Works great on a high-res screen and (imo) is the easiest on the eyes for long coding sessions.

Comic Sans is the font to go! Actually I never thought about this....

Definitely worth to try "Source Code Pro". It's free and it's cool!

I'm still using Consolas. I'm so used to it that it just seems normal.
I tried a couple of other fonts a few months ago, but switched back to Consolas.
I suppose that the 'best' font is a subjective choice: one that lets you read the code without 'seeing' the font, if you get me.

I'm currently using WTE the VS2015 default is. I went to check what it was but I don't have the specific item in the dropdown[^] that is used to set the default font (vs font in a few subareas) for some reason. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

As I use a Mac, Menlo[^] is my preferred font, as it's included since Snow Leopard.
Java, Basic, who cares - it's all a bunch of tree-hugging hippy cr*p

I use Droid Sans Mono Slashed
It is a Slashed version of Droid Sans Mono
The Slashed/Dotted Versions are available here: cosmix.org | Software[^]
I have compared to many other fonts, while not perfect, I always end up back on this one.
HTH!
PS: As a Programmer, I liked 1Lli to be easily differentiated as well as 80O for my old weary eyes!

Georgia 11. I already know that I'm committing some crime by using a proportional font for coding, but I'm not stuck in the 1980s.

I like OCR A Extended. Apostrophes and Quotes are easy to tell apart.

I use Consolas simply because it is easy and is there. When I wanted to maximize screen space, I enjoyed both ProFont and Sheldon.

Since it isn't 1980 and I'm not making ASCII-art, I prefer proportional fonts even for coding. But seriously, I find that it makes code more readable because the eyes tend not to get caught in the rivers and lakes that easily form with fixed-width fonts. Also, we all want to get the most out of limited screen real-estate, but the only way to do that with fixed fonts is to squish even the widest characters beyond a reasonably readable point.
I prefer MS Reference Sans Serif, which has clear distinctions between all the ambiguous chars (e.g., Il1 and 0O).

I have a link on my bookmark bar to give me a random page in Wikipedia, kind of an easy way to get distracted now and then. I clicked it and here I was: John L. DeWitt[^]
Fortunately, I'm not superstitious.

Yeah, I like hitting the "Atlas Obscura" random page now and then - there are place you have never dreamt of in there.And then there is always the "uncrated.com' site when I want to look at things I can't afford.

Do you also play the Hitler Game where you have to get to Hitler's page in six clicks or less from any random page using only the in-article links? 
|

|

Never heard of it - and don't plan on playing.
There's something really messed up in having the time or inclination for that.
Really.

It's pretty interesting that ANY topic somehow relates to Hitler in only five steps.
Something like:
Some flower -> Some scientist -> What did he do during WWII? -> Hitler
Some ancient philosopher -> Inspired some other philosopher -> Ran from/inspired Hitler
Some sportsman -> Sport -> Olympics during WWII -> ...
Just tried it myself:
Josefine Cronholm[^] -> Jazz[^] -> World War I[^] -> Adolf Hitler[^]
Pretty sick
It's sad and interesting that Hitler had such an influence on the world we live in today.
