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 (http://praegnanz.de/images/423.png) or, if you prefer a more complete overview, here (http://www.dafont.com/font.php?file=bitstream_vera_mono).
It is freely downloadable (http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/ttf-bitstream-vera/1.10/) from The GNOME Project (http://www.gnome.org/).

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...
