Come to think of it, does anyone know how I can modify the fonts that

wanted such a thing. Is anyone aware of fonts already so modified?
In vim,
:set list
enables showing whitespace.
:set listchars=tab:>-,trail:-
will show tabs as >---- and trailing whitespace as a hyphen. You can use
the highlight for SpecialKey to set the coloring you would like for these
visible characters (e.g. to make them subtle).
The coloring is already subtle (deep dark blue). How do I set it so that:
:set list
:set listchars=tab:>-,trail:-
are always on unless I want to turn them off? (And what is the simplest
way to turn them off? :set nolist?)
With a UTF-8 terminal, you can set the listchars to any Unicode character
you have in your font, so you can probably find something nice and
subtle.
All tabs to varying lengths of ">" to ">------" (in dark blue) and
trailing spaces as dark blue ASCII 216 (or maybe just "X") would be
nice. If color is ever in conflict with something else (like comments),
how do I change it?

Thanks.
