The default Courier New 10pt is larger than necessary for me. However, using that font at 8pt does not look very good.
Are there better choices for a more readable, very small (e.g., 8pt) font for eclipse?
The default font Eclipse uses for (Java) code is Monospace.
Cascadia Code is the default font for the Windows Terminal and Visual Studio. It includes a default, mono (no ligatures), italic, and cursive font, and it also has extra support for embedding Powerline symbols.
If running on Windows, you may give Microsoft Consolas a shot (included in Vista or later, and available as a separate download). I use it everywhere.
I'm a huge fan of Bitstream Vera Sans Mono, which I use at 9pt.
It's available here: http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/ttf-bitstream-vera/1.10/
First hit on google:
