A few things I always look for with regards to a programming font:
1's don't look like l's.
i's look like i's and nothing else.
0 doesn't look like O or o. (Usually a zero should have a slash through it, or a dot in the middle, or some such.)
It's got to have all 256 ASCII characters to be truly useful, as well as being monospaced and easy to read with my old eyes.
Overall, from all my various testing of different fonts, I honestly think "Deja Vu Sans Mono" is a favorite, but it has issues with PRINT and PRINTSTING clipping part of it and not displaying the whole font. (Worst thing is that at some font sizes, the underscore doesn't display as it hangs below the other characters as a means to generate an underline and thus gets clipped off.)
For all font sizes, "Source Code Pro" tends to display the best for my eyes, with "Medium" not being so bold that it appears "bloated" and hard to read at various resolutions.
