I am interested what font do you use for code editor. I installed new
linux distro (few week ago) and there was only FreeMono so I was
looking for some nicer font. Finally, I decided for Courier SWA (I
downloaded it from here: http://www.font-
zone.com/download.php?fid=4078).
Please attach here small screenshot of your code editor and
description of the font (link to download is welcome). It can be
useful.
I attached mine.
Thank you.

Don't have a screenshot, and haven't used it on linux in a while. but
IIRC dejavu sans mono is quite nice

In my early programming days I changed about a zillion of fonts, every
time coming back to the plain old Courier New

Just in case:

I have tried various Monospace fonts and see little difference between
Bitstream Vera Sans Mono, DejaVu Sans Mono and the Monospace choices
offered by my system (openSUSE-11.4 KDE-4.6.3). I don't like the
Liberation Mono font because the lowercase character heights vary. In
the end I chose Bitstream Vera Sans Mono because I also use it as my
system-wide font.

DejaVu Sans Mono.
well, and Raize

I've tryed several, but this has a good balance between readability
and size.

Have you seen the post on 'Solarized' font color schemes?

Not 100% on topic but thought it was a good post on fonts that might
be of interest to you.

But yes, I like the good old DOS time and the Turbo C IDE.
