I have been hoping for user-defined fonts in SQL Compare for three versions now. I'm beginning to lose hope.
Things good about Lucida Console:
It is monospaced
It is pre-installed on (nearly) every Windows machine
... that's about it
It would
really be nice if the user could choose the font and default font size for the differences editor. Also, please don't restrict it to TTF (or even monospaced for that matter). Lets face it, only power users will ever be using this application (or any Red-Gate tool for that matter). We understand the consequences of choosing a non-monospaced font.
My favorite font,
Dina (a fork of Proggy font), is not TrueType, but rather a bitmap font. It is small and excellent for displaying code.

Please, please, please consider putting in user-defined fonts for the differences pane.
