: The only thing that needs to be conveyed in the code IS the code. You
: don't need a pretty, sexy font to add "meaning" to it.

I find font-sub-styles really help.

"A whole new dimension to syntax-colouring" - as I've described it.

: There IS a reason proportional fonts are used. []

: By the way, do you write code in non-proportional fonts?

You have the word "proportional" backwards - you
are using it to mean "monospaced", while in fact
it means just the opposite.

: Do you put the class names in a 12-point font, while the
: rest of the code is in a 10-point font? To you put the
: REALLY important parts of the code in red, italics?

Italics are used for comments here - and they are green - not red.
Red is reserved for highlighting errors.
