I gave that font a whirl yesterday, and it was pretty jarring. I don't know if it was just the shock of seeing parts of my code written in a script-style typeface or what, but I couldn't read my code as easily as with a more orthodox font family. Does it get easier to read as you get more used to using it?
Do you think it adds value to use it as a programming font, or are the unique choices (like script-style italics) more just fun stylistic flourishes? (Not that stylistic flourishes are necessarily a bad thing.) I dig new ideas in fonts, especially in the rather boring space of monospace fonts, so I'm trying to give this font a fair shake. But I still haven't been able to get fully on board yet.
1 9 5 9 – 1 9 6 3 (USA) In the 1930s, gangsters and G-Men alike were busy dealing with the fallout of Prohibition. Real-life government agent Eliot Ness put Al Capone in jail for tax evasion, and because he and his team of law enforcers couldn’t be bribed (and back then, practically everyone had their price), they were nicknamed “The Untouchables”. Rick Ross Trilla Rare. In real life, Ness and his men went their separate ways after Capone’s arrest, but the series had them stay together well into the 1940’s, going gun to gun against nearly every famous gangster of the time, with some Nazis and presidential assassins thrown in for good measure.
Desilu, the production company owned by Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz, started it all when they produced The Scarface Mob, a two-hour TV movie based on the 1947 novel co-written by Ness which aired as part of Desilu Playhouse. It had a coarse, documentary feel to it, and the voice-over drone, which added a sense of reality to the proceedings, came courtesy of Walter Winchell, the ubiquitous voice of 30s and 40s era newsreels (and who, incidentally, had actually pointed a Communist-witch hunter finger at none other than Lucille Ball a few years prior). The TV movie was such a success that years later, it was even released as a movie in the cinemas. Several networks vied for the rights to make an Untouchables series, but ABC won the bidding war and insisted that each episode was as action-packed as the pilot. By the end of the second season, The Untouchables was a ratings hit, and the producers claimed that real-life shady sorts called in with kudos and even suggestions for story ideas. But unfortunately, Ness and the gang had also attracted plenty of controversy.
