I've been using SourceCodePro ever since you posted about it awhile

back.

I'm not a fan of the dark backgrounds. I find the off-white background

to be the easiest on my eyes, I think, especially as I (and the rest of

us!) get older. The dark/black backgrounds were what you had back in

the mainframe programming days and green-screens, but I think they're

harder on the eyes. Isn't there some documentation as to that somewhere

too? Who knows...maybe I'll go back to that on Flashback Fridays so as

to feel a bit young again. lol
