Mark Dain I've heard from a few places and people to try turning syntax highlighting off; most recently this on HN: robertmelton.com/2... I think I'll try it next week at work

Nkrs My setup is similar: background is near white, text and code are black, comments are green, and there's no advanced formatting like bold and italic. The advantage is that I don't need to worry whether my editor can highlight a certain type of file since the only loss is highlighting for comments, and since there's no bold and italic, I can use a larger variety of fonts (currently it is Input Mono Condensed).
