Bold is just too heavy and space-filling for normal use. The
ability to switch to bold (or even designate certain comments as boldface) seems much more logical, captain.[x] bold.png
hum, i would vote for bold. although i can understand the space- filling issue, bold is still easier to read(for me). besides, it might also be eaiser for new users too,
making reading help/tutorial files less painfull..I am curious why you would choose bold here, yet in desiredata, you
choose a normal font. Is there some specifics about the font
itself? Maybe it would make sense to draw the boxes lighter, like
not quite black, but more a dark gray. That would make the normal
font stand out more.
my choice was not entirely derived from my personal perference, but based on (what i think) the general readability between the two choices. i mean, on my own system, i use *very* small font system wide, because i like it that way. as to desiredata, the screenshots so far are only for demo purposes, showing whatever features that are there. i mean, if i am using desiredata everyday for myself, i sure will prefer bold, rather normal.
and yes, ultimately, it would be perfect if all elements can be cumstomized. ie. lighter object boxes, or no object boxes at all;) but we are not quite there yet..
