Free Fonts for Developers

What font do you use in your code or text editor?

I'm tired of Courier New as my monospace editor font. Lucidia Console is a bit bold for my liking.

In the past, I've used ProFont. However, in Visual Studio 2005, it's acting very strangely, with some characters nearly overlapping in places. I've switched to another free font, Proggy Clean (at 12 pt). It's clean, easy to on the eyes, and has a unique zero.

Others have found Anonymous to their liking, but I couldn't see using it for normal coding. It probably would look better in print or on a image.

Anyone prefer using a non-monospaced font? If so, which one (and for what type of development)?
