Texture, you say? Try this on for size: http://www.comicbookfonts.com/Code-Monkey-Constant-p/cl343.h...

It's not free, but both a) reasonably priced and b) dirt cheap during their annual sale (that Andy Ihnatko has written about at length).

It's not for everyone, but it's a "Comic Sans Mono" (if you will) that's actually not aesthetically displeasing. I use it occasionally for code, just for fun.

I think the little cool details that make it stand out work really well for short code samples, but I am a little worried they might catch your eye too much and end up being counterproductive if you look at them all day while coding.

Indeed, I'm going to give this one a spin for a bit.
