Definitly ProFont, changed my life. For the better, that is! ;)
Hey, hope to go see your Agile presentation at TechEd in Amsterdam!
I hope it won't cover the basics but will go somewhat (or really) deep into the subject. I'd also love examples from the real life instead of the regular examples like the "customer-order" examples you always see in code! ~:)
But I'm sure it'll be a blast!
Just being curious... why does everybody seem to be so obsessed with monospaced fonts? Are you guys all writing console apps where you need spaces for indenting output?
My colleagues and I have switched to proportional fonts long time ago. By buddy on the same room uses Tahome, I like Verdana better. With the usually pretty long identifier names of the .NET framework, proportional fonts really make a difference in readability. And it keeps the code free from any fancy formatting like lining up end-of-line comments, or variable types and names, which is a waste of time anyway.

I agree with Marc that proportional fonts are the way to go.
Proportional fonts are easier to read, you can see more code at once, and they free you up from fooling around with indenting by spacebar. Come on folks, we're using computers, not typewriters.
Garamond 12 point is a great coding font for a high-resolution screen.
verdana's the only thing I've been coding in for a few years now, it's simply lovely for LCD's with clearType.
I love BitStreams Vera Sans Mono. They developed this font for Gnome to use in thier editor. It's free and "open source".
It looks great on LCD's as long as cleartype is enabled. I use 9pt but being a TTF you can scale it any way you want.
