This must be a recurring issue for Programmers...
Every time I find myself resetting / recreating a programming environment, I always have to change to a dark theme and struggle to find a good monospaced, antialiased font ( I am not sure if fonts themselves are antialiased as stored on disk, or are they massaged somewhere between the point they are on disk and before we see them on screen).
In my search, I even came across monospaced fonts which were not really monospace... Inconsolata is one of those (sample code snippet below where I have obscured non essential info)
However, I think I have found a font that works well...
The Bitstream Vera Sans Mono

IDE designers... please include a default black background color theme.
I cant believe you all are using white background for your development (And if not, shame on you for giving us something you yourself don't use).
