Personally I'm a fan of using bitmap fonts - currently I use Tamzen for my shell/editor:

Ooh, very nice. I like bitmap fonts too, but I use Terminus and GNU Unifont (fallback for glyphs not in Terminus) myself.

I use Terminus too. To me, nothing is more readable [1] than Terminus [2] with the solarized-dark [3] color scheme.

I used to use Terminus, but IIRC Tamzen had a nice size for high DPI monitors, whereas Terminus felt too big or too small.

That font gives me DOS and Windows 3.11 flashbacks.
