Look, I know what is Hack font as well a lot of other thing about fonts, since I work on fonts and reading-related problems my whole life. I'd just tell one thing since I am a bit tired: if you wish, take an advice: avoid *any* monospaced fonts as plague if you are reading a lot of information, this includes coding. Avoid *any* sepia color schemes as plague. Avoid *any* sans-serif font. Get the most close to Garamond or Perpetua font. For cases, where you *absolutely must* use monospaced font, stick to Courier font (it is called "Courier 10 pitch" on Linux, if you don't have it in the system, try to find it, it must be in some true type font package). As for editing executables I don't know what *exactly* are you trying to do, what processes are involved, so I can't advice much. And don't worry if a zero does not look like a pusy, but looks like a big O, this is irrelevant in most cases. Now if you follow this, then probably in some time you will say: thanks, good man Mikhail. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
