This particular excuse pisses me off the most. "If you can't differentiate, then your font or editor sucks." Thank you for passing judgement on my choice of font or editor, but Ka-Ping already stated why this argument is bullshit: there does not currently exist a font where one can differentiate all the glyphs

That's not true. In the Unicode BMP fallback font, you can easily differentiate all Unicode characters (in the BMP):

Speaking of which, do you know of a fixed-width font that is able to allow for the visual distinction of all unicode glyphs in the primary plane, or even the portion that Martin is proposing we support? This also "is not a show-stopper", but it certainly reduces audience satisfaction by a large margin.

See above.

Regards, Martin
