Suggestion - halve the whitespace

Yeah, I thought that was a neat idea until I looked at it. It shouldn't be so wide it looks like there's an actual space character there.

I need to screenshot a better example. That one barely has actual spaces. I mean, when there's more code, it's not confusing (after 1 or 2 minutes :), because the actual space is 3.25 times wider than the left padding of the capital case letters.

I would also suggest increasing the spacing around the comma and [ characters (and probably others that aren't shown in that screenshot). I find that non-monospaced fonts make it hard to see where the cursor is in those situations, because there's so little space for it to fit.

thanks

This looks interesting, do you have a plan to open up this font for the public to download at somepoint?

Now that you mentioned, yes. I'll need to use another base font, since Verdana's license doesn't allow for that.
