Mono-space font for Eclipse and Python

Was looking for the best font for Eclipse and Python. I use size 10, and these are my favorites: 

Eclipse with Droid Sans Mono font

Eclipse with Liberation Mono font

I now always use Liberation Mono font as the default monospace font in Ubuntu.  I see several advantages in it over Droid Sans Mono font:

2. I like 'g' letter better
3. Liberation Mono has Bold type face, and you can see what this mean in console:

Notice bold font (Liberation Mono) in Emacs

No bold font (Droid Sans Mono) in Emacs
