Sounds like you found one you like.

When I looked for this some time ago I found this posting:
http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2004/12/6/11739/5249

Which led me to use bitstream.
So I downloaded it and setup the following in my .vimrc (Windows in this case).

" Change default FONT /*{{{*/
" Bitstream Vera Fonts, downloaded from:
"   http://www.gnome.org/fonts/
"   http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/ttf-bitstream-vera/1.10/
if has('win32')
    if filereadable(expand('$SystemRoot').'/fonts/Vera.ttf')
        " If running on drastically different resolution monitors
        " this will set the font based which screen you are
        " currently on.  This assumes the monitor above you has
        " a higher resolution.
        let fontsize = (getwinposx()<0 ? '11' : '9')
        " For normal 11 point font
        "   set guifont=Bitstream_Vera_Sans_Mono:h11:cANSI
        " For bold 11 point font
        echomsg 'fontsize:'.fontsize.'  posx:'.getwinposx()
        exec 'set guifont=Bitstream_Vera_Sans_Mono:h'.fontsize.':b:cANSI'
    elseif filereadable(expand('$SystemRoot').'/fonts/Raize.fon')
        " Raize (12 pt bold)
        set guifont=Raize:h12:b:cANSI
    endif
endif


Just more stuff to add to the mix.
