Use a little larger font size, then you can tell the difference.

Hello,
I would suggest "Bitstream Vera Sans Mono". You can take a look at it here or, if you prefer a more complete overview, here.
It is freely downloadable from The GNOME Project.

Nice list actually, I've been looking for some replacements for the standard "Courier New" font that I've been using for so long. The 'anonymous' one is quite nice, but I really dislike the ~ character...
