My most favorite font for coding for for over a decade has been 6x13. in '94 using eXceed X-windows server on Win3.1 I could fit two 80 column wide 54 lines high emacs windows side-by-side on my screen using 6x13 font (more so on the Sun workstations). Even coding on Windows using VS, first thing I do is install 6x13 font on the machine. If only Java had good support for this font on windows ... Eclipse could be pleasure to use...
