On OSX I think Monaco (which is the default) is the best.
On linux I like Inconsolata and on windows I don't know...
Does it have to be the same font anyway?
In general I also have the same configuration everywhere, but for these
kind of things also using the customization framework and an external
custom file is probably much easier...
