I'm wondering too what you are looking for in a font. Good looks, features, options to enable or disable, ligatures?

On PragmataPro, I know it's a bit pricey (60 euros) but I've been using 12 hours a day for years, it has a lot of characters available, supposedly hand-made, and the guy updates it regularly.

I have bought software that was more expensive but had way less usefulness.
