Back in the day, when I ran Windoze XP on my development machines, I used to use the wonderful "Consolas" font developed by Microsoft.
Since switching to Ubuntu some, uhhh ... 3 years ago, I've been using the free Inconsolata font - and I agree with kvz, it is very nice. One small problem with it for development is it isn't monospaced - though I don't notice it causing me any real problems.
Anyways, lately I've been playing with Liberation mono instead, which is monospaced, and so far i'm liking it a lot. In IntelliJ/JetBrains Idea i'm running it at 17pt, which looks super-smooth and readable on my 17" 1080p laptop.
To install Liberation in ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install ttf-liberation
