I've been running Consolas at 8pt, and Envy Code R looks pretty bad at 8pt, and is totally illegible at 6pt. I'd give it a whirl if it scaled down better. Nice work, though.

You're right Thomas it is your older theme. I thought it was your Nightingale scheme but when I went to check I noticed the colours weren't the same and didn't think to check if you had other themes it might match. Fixed now :) <em>[)amien</em> Thanks for the advocacy Eddy and Thomas, it is much appreciated and the referrals show you’re convincing lots of people to try it.

Otherwise, the rest looks just great. --Eddy Hey, I’ve been evangelising Envy Code R since it first came to my attention :-)

FWIW, I've become another fan or Envy Code R (of the VS variant) :). I'm using it right now with very good results even at larger point sizes. So definitely keep up the good work!

When I'm really close to the screen for hours on end and want good code density on screen Envy Code R is what I find relaxing too although there still is a bit of work to do for the next preview - notable improving the 1 the comma, hash sign and curly braces. Thanks for the comments, it's good to know Envy Code R has some fans otherwise it often feels like I'm talking to myself ;-) [)amien Consolas is a great font and I often use it and Inconsolata when doing presentations or demonstrating code as they both look great at large sizes.

I've tried many fonts, and the issue I've found is that you actually have to spend a few hours with a font to figure out if it is good for you or not. While you certainly could judge fonts by first impressions and how good they look, I care much more about eye fatigue and head aches. So while I think Consolas looks a little better than Envy R at first impression, Envy R has been better for me in the long run. Great work! Kim Damien,
