What is the best font for development in Eclipse IDE, which is visually appealing, easy for eyes when we stare at code for long time.

This depends on your OS a bit but I use Dejavu Sans Mono at 11pt on the Mac.

Thank you rochoa. Inconsolata is good. Btw, to answer other comment am using OS X 10.6
