Yes I do see the '_' in other text editor on my computer. The reason why I want to get it displayed correctly is because when I write something like '__main__', I can't see the '_' character and it matters for me. Anyway, I got the '_' displayed correctly after I changed the font to "Consolas".

One thought about the default setting: Would you think for IPython QtConsole, the Automatic figure would be better than the Inline? The reason for that is: 1) Matlab used a pop-out figure, which is what matplotlib originally set out to mimic; 2) For a scientific use, the interactive plotting is
