tab chars need to be bolder

Hi,

Been begging for this for years but still being ignored.

The tab characters are too small and faint to be effectively seen. Tabs are content and I can not edit content because of this. Doesn't anyone have a hi-res laptop screen? How can I be expected to edit tab delimited files???

Same goes for eol and space chars. They are useless on a good laptop.

Does anyone hear me?

Well, I agree with you, but considering you've been asking this for more than 7 years, I think it's safe to say nobody at Helios is paying much attention.

why don't you just change the colour of these characters? The size of the characters is hard-coded so there's not much you can do there - that is down to Helios.

I've just changed the colour of them to a nice bright yellow via preferences and then the text colour for the document class.

Hope this helps.
