To date I have not found any font that looks good on any terminal except for the stock Windows Raster Fonts.

Looks nice enough but I do not like the "programmer ligatures and glyph combining". ->, != get changed to weird characters. This will make selecting them or changing them awkward (have to delete the whole thing to change one character).
I'm sure it is another one of those things that is great for amateurs but when used in anger under deadlines it just slows you down.
As for fonts; the default OpenBSD terminal one (Spleen) is really nice. Looks extremely modern.

ATM It breaks indentation though, so I enabled just a few characters: ≤, ≥ and ≠ these in my experience had never appeared in text in such way to have influence on indentation.

FWIW, Emacs has pretty-symbols-mode which works similar, but doesn't have the problem you describe: e.g. if you have != represented by ≠, and then you delete one character from that ≠, you'd get a ! or = (depending on which side you deleted a character at).
