1. Monospaced font for program listings

I've never been happy with courier or similar.

Today I installed Apple's Monaco for my default editor fixed width font, 
and here's the result:

I think it's clear and easy to read. No confusion between '0' and 'O' or 
between 'l' and '1'.

And it just looks neat.

Sure does. You can find this and several other fonts at eg:

I've previously had a problem reported with some versions of Monaco, marked up
as a variable-width font with an average char width of 19 and a maximum width of
28, so Edita rejected it. However the one from the above link seems to work fine
with Edita, just in case anyone wanted to try.
