Bob's Game has a slashed zero while KOPQRSTUVZ is changed.
Nimbus Sans Mono contains kerning pairs that URW++ added them. You do not need these. The capital J and small r is fully serifed.
Prima Sans Mono BT has the same as Bitstream Vera Sans Mono but is commercial. It lacks a center dot on the zero and the small l is fully serifed.
Proggy Square is used in Tears of Steel for text like MEMORY OVERWRITE COMPLETE.

I can't understand the code when the font is not fixedsys.

One hundred percent agree. The programming font is "fixedsys". "Terminal" is another option!

They are all good fonts, but i think one of the most important things is the separation between lines, thats where Courier takes the cake.

Just google the "terminus.ttf" and "ter-k14n.fon", and put the downloaded *.ttf or *.fon in the WINDOWS/Fonts?
I love the look of those!

We all do make mistakes some times.
The URL you mentioned is for Linux only. Windows can't use the format.
Actually, you can find the ttf verion here[^]. Remember to Use the EricCheng's modified ttf version for Windows. And for .FON, here[^] you can find the whole pack! (in the "Not Yet Reviewed" section below).
