Wow, this is the ugliest font I have ever seen. I do like the color-less syntax highlighting, though.
Also, Haskell looks nicer when you translate things like -> to →, \ to λ, and so on.
But really, both of these things would look nicer on high-resolution displays. When can I get a 1200dpi 24" monitor? (In the mean time, you can pry hinting and subpixel anti-aliasing from my cold, dead eyes. It's a necessity on the limited hardware that's currently available.)
I agree; it's grossly wide and so thin as to be almost illegibly sparkly when it's black-on-white. I don't even want to imagine what this face would look like knocked-out on black.
There's also a good comment on the source page about distinguishing zeros and ohs, especially when coding.
You can’t get a 1200dpi monitor but you can get a 250+dpi one if you start looking at medical displays. Obviously the more detail, the more accurate the diagnosis. They tend to be greyscale only though, and excitingly expensive ($10k+).
