Sure, we all love to type, but what about the end result on-screen?
Mine is Bitstream Vera Sans Mono for coding. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitstream_Vera)
It's the easiest on the eyes for me when working in a terminal, and is really easy to read.
As for serif typefaces, I like Garamond. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garamond)
It's very elegant, and comes with Photoshop last I checked which is neat ;o

Comic Sans dissing is an unfortunate Hipster phenomenon the world over.

Bitstream Vera/DejaVu are the best fonts for coding. A good coding/console font should be quite narrow. Courier and Lucida Console can just go and die.
Before Vera I prefered fixed-semicondensed-12, that used to be the default under X. Not a scalable font, though.

Helvetica on my iPad.
I am hoping everyone on KBDthority buys one.
The Helvetica Mod here.
The trick with fonts is to match them to the subject at hand.

The Filco's Futura keys are the nicest available, aesthetically speaking. Helvetica looks good on the Model M, but it looks too old-school on modern keyboards. Futura fits much better.

(yes supposedly a Frutiger ripoff but the rounded dots on the i's and periods are enough for me.
I own none of them except for Helvetica on my old G3 Mac and Segoe UI.

Hi there, everybody! This is my first post here.
Anyway, my favorite coding/terminal font is inconsolata. I don't really have any other favorite font.
