#3This is quite nice, and I really appreciate the proper differentiation of similar characters. It still gets a bit blurry at low point sizes, though. If you're after a font that is pixel-crisp at small sizes (and don't mind if it doesn't size up all that well), check out Proggy bitmap fonts: http://upperbounds.net/

#4Monospace - This is an universal requirement for source code typography.
It's not just an historic artifact from the olden days of terminals, but an useful convention to allow two dimensional structuring and highlighting differences on the character level.
Well, since there are people that swear by using variable space fonts for programming, it's not necessarily a universal requirement. I agree it is a very useful convention though, and prefer monospace fonts for terminals and programming myself.

You are referring to the color scheme, not the font. The default font for your Sublime Text is probably either Monospace, Consolas, or Menlo Regular.
Yes, this will confuse a lot of people who enjoy the default color scheme of Sublime. This is something completely different.

I'm waiting for the editor with a layout engine that doesn't assume monospace -- the tooling is a bigger problem than anything else for variable-width fonts.

Source code typography and programming are two different things.
And by source code typography I imagine more ASCII markup for "drawing" flow charts and structuring for headers which would not align or break entirely with variable space fonts.

I dont think he said anything about default.

#9Does anyone else find most programming fonts to be overly heavyweight? I end up sticking with Courier New because of its light, thin lines, even though it's not a perfect font.
Are there any other monospace fonts with light weights?

Are you sure? There's quite far from Monokai to Mononoki.
