You may have intended for the font to be Consolas, you may even have told X11 to use Consolas, but the lowercase "l" and "r" of Consolas do not look like the ones in either of the screenshots. As best I can tell, the font you like is Menlo, the one you don't like is Andale Mono. See attached comparison image.
