I like the gnu internation fonts. Download ftp://aeneas.mit.edu/pub/gnu/intlfonts/intlfonts-1.2.1-split/European.tar.gz Unpack them into, e.g., "c:/dir/". And put (setq w32-bdf-filename-alist (w32-find-bdf-fonts '("c:/dir/intlfonts-1.2/European"))) (setq window-font "-etl-fixed-medium-r-*-*-18-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1") (when window-system (set-frame-font window-font)) into your .emacs. This gives a decent font. I am searching for good looking X fonts with pixel heights of 20-21 pixels and larger. Displays have 100 dpi or even 120 dpi but new fonts haven't appeared to make human eye readable displays at those resolutions.
