Bug Description
The mono font looks nice, but the small size of the punctuation (I noticed it with colon, period and semicolon) make it difficult to see. I'm using 12pt mono in Emacs, and a colon in particular is two very small pixels that are very hard to distinguish particularly when they are at the beginning of a line adjacent to whitespace. I find Inconsolata's punctuation weight to be much easier to notice.
Thank you
