I generally use Courier.

Its ugly and old fashioned but it clearly shows 
the differences between i,l, | and 1 and '' and " 
and between ' and ` etc.

and spaces are big enough to "see" clearly. :-)

Never read code in a word processor. Use a 
proper programmer's editor (and there are 
loads, most free, each with its supporters) 
like:  vim, emacs, scite, Eclipse, etc....

Not only will the code be clearer with syntax 
colouring etc but you will have a lot of cursor 
movement and text operations that you don't 
get in a word processor (like commenting 
out a block, or folding/hiding a block inside 
a loop, auto indenting etc, etc)

HTH,
