Don't let the word "Courier" through you off.
Clean, and unlike it's near-namesake, rather easy on the eyes.
Not decorative and basically sans-serif, excepting a few chars that make sense( 'I', i, 'l'

I agree, your "courier" is nice. But look at Source Code Pro - it's very close, but letters are bit higher and easier to read.

I'll probably give it a test drive.
One criteria that I often don't think of directly is viewing a decent number of lines concurrently without too small a font. I'm wondering if the height difference will make a difference once I scale to my comfort size. Could go either way.
FontSquirrel sure has a lot of versions of it!

Unfortunately there is "health minimum" for font size. If you don't wanna be Harry Potter, better set "normal" size and buy more LCD inches. Currently I have 32" in portrait mode - it's a really huge amount of lines!

Hack and VeraMono are now crystal clear to me with MacType.
BTW, I hate ClearType.

Or Fixedsys Excelsior for editors that require TrueType fonts.

I really never paid it any attention until it was brought up last week in the lounge. I had to go and look. Turns out I'm using Courier New and Consolas mostly.

The only requirement is...
1 != l (L low case) != I (i Upper case)
O != 0 (and even better is zero has the point in the middle)
and any other possible confussions are avoided

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

I know a person who uses Comic Sans as his programming (and writing) font.
Yes, Comic Sans.
He 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???

...it is fixed width and letters are clearly visible.

You also need a clear distinction between "0" and "O", and "1" and "l" - which is not the case in all non-proportional fonts.
