I spend a lot of time in Linux consoles and vim, and really appreciate Solarized Dark and SourceCodePro, though I see a couple others worth checking out.
Note that you can type in the simulated console, which is important if you're checking out key characters like zero.
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
