You want to look for "programmer fonts" or "programming fonts". Jeff 
Atwood's blog, "Coding Horror" has done a couple of entries on this 
topic, as have many others.

Good places to start:

http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/000969.html

http://keithdevens.com/wiki/ProgrammerFonts

Plus Google searches on "programming fonts" and "coding fonts".
