I agree. Newer trends, like the Solarized color scheme[1], seem to
favor thick fonts with supplemental anti-aliasing, such as DejaVu
Sans Mono. Using bitmapped and inherently aliased fonts, such as
Tamsyn[2], with such color schemes is not as good[3]. Instead, I
find that they are much easier to read on a dark background[4].
