Aug 10, 2012 at 7:27 comment added Jeroen @KeithThompson hehe good idea. We could just programmatically chop off all-but-one-pixel of whitespace on the sides of all Consolas glyphs, but then we'll all probably suffer from this.
Aug 10, 2012 at 5:57 comment added Keith Thompson It looks like what we really need is a variable-width programmer's font. Unfortunately, we also need to use a font that actually exists. (Anybody interested in creating one?)
