After running windows for so long one of the hardest things about switching to OSX was finding a good font that looks something like what I was used to. This was a must have condition for making the switch two years ago.

There’s just something about the new fonts that just doesn’t work for me after spending hundreds of thousands of hours either in a text editor or at the command prompt. Of course the actual Terminal Font on windows isn’t a TTF so that’s a dead end.

What I eventually found was a True Type Font called Video Terminal Screen. This is what it looks like in iTerm on Leopard at 16pt. Text and code look great with it, well to me.
