James Duncan Davidson writes a bit about fixed width fonts on Mac OS X:

• The case for Bitstream Vera Sans Mono, a font distributed with Gnome.
• Quicklook and Fonts.
• and, A sorting problem with fonts.

I’ve long been a fan of Monaco with anti-aliasing for my Terminal font, but I’m now sold on Panic Sans. John Gruber mentioned it in his link blog, it comes with Coda and is based on Bitstream Vera Sans with better punctuation.

Sold.
