So far, there were only two fonts suitable for IDEs such as Visual Studio, Courier New and Lucida Console. There's a third choice now. Go grab Consolas Font Pack for Visual Studio 2005 now. You can see differences between three fonts from Glen Gordon's blog.
Installing the font pack will automatically change the default font for Visual Studio to Consolas. I also changed the font for Notepad, Notepad2 and command prompt. Changing the font for command prompt is a bit tricky. If you open the properties window from command prompt, you will only see Lucida Console and Raster Fonts as options. In order to make other fonts appear in the font selection, you will need to make a small registry hack.
