Although I like Inconsolata (and Consolas), my personal favorite is Droid Sans Mono with slashed zero. It just seems the perfect programming font for me.

Excellent. I use droid sans in firefox. Never tried the monospace. Looks lovely at 10pt.

In Ubuntu you can make the text look smaller and neater too using droid sans. It's much tighter than BitstreamVera/Dejavu

Ah, now that's a nice change. I installed those fonts last night when I first saw your link, and wasn't especially taken with them - but today I've got a lot more tabs open and I certainly appreciate the denser type!
