I think Bitstream Vera Sans Mono would be quite good.
I slightly prefer Monaco, which is shipped with OS X, but I don't know
its license (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monaco_(typeface)).
I haven't checked, but I would guess that it is owned by Apple and the
license prohibits its redistribution.
For an evaluation of programmer fonts see http://www.lowing.org/fonts/
Another list can be found here:
http://wiki.macromates.com/Main/AlternativeFonts
The latter list, for example includes
http://www.ms-studio.com/FontSales/anonymous.html which looks nice too.
Good list, thanks.
The default font should be sensible and generally acceptable, but since
everyone can change that and choose their own favourite font from those
available in their operating system, does it really matter what the default
is?
Note that it is possible to set each default to be a list of fonts, and
whichever is found first will be used. e.g.
Preferences
setListFontTo: (LogicalFont
familyName: 'Monaco'
fallbackFamilyNames: #('Segoe UI'. 'Helvetica'. 'Accuny')
pointSize: 8)
In this way, a Mac user will see Monaco , a Windows Vista user will see
Segoe UI (the Vista default), and other OS users will see Helvetica or, as a
last resort, the Accuny strike font.
Cheers,
Andy

I don't know about you, but whatever font is being used in that
image is really ugly. It is grey instead of black, and hence
lowers contrast a bit of the text in the image. Or maybe it is
too thin, and the AA is being clever and making it grey.
It is a direct copy of Bitstream Vera Sans, renamed as Squeak Sans, and
with the embedding flags changed to enable it to be legally embedded in
an application. The license for the Bitstream fonts allows them to be
altered in any way, so long as the name is changed.
Try experimenting with the preferences; i.e. contrast, hinting mode.
If you find a font that you like, then please post the name of the font
and a screenshot.
There may be a similar free font that can be used instead.
Cheers,
Andy
