Check this out: www.slant.co/topics/67/~what-are-the-best-programming-fonts Seems like that both Inconsolata and Consolata are top choices for most coders.

I'm not certain there is a "best" typeface. It's more about personal preference. The same way some prefer reversed text, some may have font preferences. Generally san-serif is thought to be easier to read on "on-screen" and a less-than-stark contrast setting can also be helpful.

I tend to lean towards a monospaced sans serif font such as Monaco. But I'm sure others may not like that font. I'm not familiar with Inconsolata , but it also appears to be a monospaced sans-serif typeface. I also prefer text at #333333 and a background at #eeeeee for coding.
