Matt, you took the words right out of my mouth! The fonts that are being used will have a big difference in readability, as will font size, foreground and background coloring, etc. It would be interesting to see if anyone has done a serious study of this type though, especially if they studied it over the course of several hours (I'm getting older, and I've noticed that after about 8-10 hours of coding it doesn't matter what I'm looking at, I can't focus enough to read it, but I don't know when I start to degrade, nor do I know if different fonts would help me degrade more slowly)
