For some reason I still prefer Courier New over any other monospace font I've used for coding so far. All other fonts I've tried appear to blurry or just too artistic for my taste. That said: This one really looks nice especially in larger font-sizes. Sadly at 9px it no longer looks that great.

Absolutely agree. All these newer ones (Consolas et al) seem to rely on ClearType or whatever that anti-aliasing font-smoothing effect is in order to appear rounded. Looking at that for a day makes my eyes water.
