I blogged about fonts quite a while back here.
But I thought I’d add a reference to a new font I just stumbled across by DamienG on his blog, called Envy Code R.
I especially like his italics as bold trick that enables you to have Italics comments in Visual Studio even though VS only has an option for bold, even in VS2008.

Envy Code R | Pretty good, but a bit compressed, note the small M. To me, the verticals are so close together, they blur a bit. It’s also a tad taller than Consolas. |
Even if you don’t care for the font, his VS color schemes, particularly Humane, are definitely worth a try.
Very nice.
Consolas with his bold-italics trick would be a very nice VS2008 font indeed. Hmmm.
