The problem that I have with most fixed-width fonts is that their line-heights are too small by default. I found a hacked version of Consolas that I’ve been using for a while, but it always bothered me that TextMate didn’t have a way to configure line-height for any font.
Well, you can fix it in Terminal. To adjust line-height to your liking, type this into your terminal:
$ defaults write com.macromates.TextMate OakLineHeightDelta 2
This won’t affect any code windows you have open, but the next time you open a file you’ll see the new line-height. To give you an idea of what’s happening, the default line-height seems to be 1. You don’t have to use 2, pick any whole number you’d like.
I like it, my code feels a bit less cramped and closed in.
