hi Peter,
moving to DVI could be a good opportunity to also upgrade the font used in the editor. have a look here:
http://www.fial.com/~scott/tamsyn-font/
there is an 8x15 version of this font, where (most) characters are 6-pixels wide (ie, 2 pixel spacing between letters). this makes text far more readable than the current 7-pixel width (with just a single pixel between letters). there are also proper descenders!
cheers,
rob :-)

for another version derived from Scott Fial's work. there are also 7-pixel wide versions that could be widened (by the addition of an extra column of blank pixels) that look extremely good.
