When I asked this on the #slug IRC channel a few years ago I was pointed to neep. It's very nice and quite legible at small sizes. I use it now for all my terminals and editors. The only problem I have with it is that it doesn't scale to very large sizes terribly well, so I resort to a truetype font when I'm giving talks or demos. Oh, and neep has a very strange ampersand (one of those back-to-front 3s with a vertical strikethrough) that takes getting used to. You may prefer neep-alt, which has a more regular one. http://www.jmknoble.net/fonts/ has screenshots, rpms and tarballs. It's also packaged for Debian, in xfonts-jmk.
