For simple writing, there are plenty of excellent proportional fonts available. The real problem is with monospaced fonts.
In my case, I have to use Andale Mono or MS Courier New because i need extended char support, like Greek letters.
Courier definitely looks better but it has no slashed zero and number 1 looks the same as letter l. Andale has no such problems but is not as clear as Courier New.
My favorite is Terminus but unfortunately it doesn't support 8859-7 Greek character set.
