This never bothered me before but now I'm sure I will notice it constantly and it's going to drive me insane.</p> Phil- Since you mentioned it I checked the Inconsolata quote character in TextMate and you are right, they do tilt to the left.

The quotes tilt to the left, like they're print quotes, instead of being straight down like monaco's quote. This makes it look like a typo, as if the wrong quote character was used.</p> The problem with Inconsolata, at least in textamte, is its quote character.

I'm now using Liberation Mono, less deco but not as plain as Bitstream.</p> I also tried Inconsolata for a while but after looking at it for a couple of days finally found it to “curly” for my taste.
