Hi,
in TM 1.x it was possible to highlight the current line. In TM2 I can see a nice gutter effect which is feasible for almost all cases but I'm sometimes editing plain text tables with rather long lines and here it'd be nice to have a visual indicator for the current line to be able to read long lines better.
Thanks, --Hans

Seconded. I miss this feature from TM1. I also miss the ability to specify /italic text/ in the themes. I was kind of assuming both those fell into the "not yet implemented" category. I hope that's the case rather than them falling into the "not going to bother" category.

And bold, of course. Bold keywords are nice. Jerry

TM 2.0 uses CoreText which doesn’t synthesize bold and italic when the font has no such variant.
So you need to pick a font with a bold and italic variant for the theme styles to work. I have no plans of trying to synthesize these styles myself (not really feasible) and Apple seems content with not having CoreText do it (like the deprecated ATSUI did).

Can't say I blame you, but... Ick. Okay, anyone have a version of Andale Mono with bold and italic variants? Or have a program that will synthesize such for me?

No, no synthesizer, but here is a nice list of monospaced fonts: http://hivelogic.com/articles/top-10-programming-fonts/
OS X (since 10.6 IIRC) comes with Menlo, a very nice Vera clone, with good antialiasing

Menlo isn't bad, but I'm a huge fan of Andale Mono. It seems cleaner to me. Ah, well.
And what self-respecting "programming fonts" article can seriously recommend a font without a slashed zero? I mean, really. He says it's the only drawback of Droid Sans Mono, but talk about a show-stopper!
Sorry. If I seem opinionated about fonts it's only because I am. :-)

There's both a slashed and a dotted zero version of Droid Sans Mono...it's currently my go-to programming font...

That article doesn't say which fonts have bold and italic variants. Do any of the free fonts mentioned have bold/italic? On my system I have 4 mono-spaced fonts; only Courier and Courier New have bold/italic variants. Andale Mono and Monoco are without variants. --ErikN

I tried one or two, but no joy. They only had the "Regular" variation. But while looking I came across a reference to Liberation Mono, which is free and does have the bold, italic, and bold italic variants. It looks very similar to Menlo.

I've been using Deju Vu Mono for all my monospaced needs, including TextMate. It does have all the usual variants, and excellent Unicode support.

Courier, Monofur, Deja Vu and Consolas come with styles (Monofur only italic).
(The Consolas family you can get here: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=1787...)
Another two – interesting – fonts with styles:
Envy Code R http://damieng.com/blog/2008/05/26/envy-code-r-preview-7-coding-font-release...
Anonymous Pro http://www.ms-studio.com/FontSales/anonymouspro.html
I am also missing the current line highlight, that was quite handy. The eyes can pick the right spot with much less effort..
