Hi Will
Yes its illegible the issue seems to be on my Lenovo Laptop running Win7 but other editors like Notepad++ render it beautifully could be that Java is the culprit here. I havent tried with other mono spaced fonts as i mostly prefer monaco for my development work since i saw the ruby and python guys using it i liked it so much

Monaco specifically, or all monospaced fonts? Is this on Mac? By the technical term 'screw up', do you mean it fails to render text legibly compared to the same font in other applications, regardless of the antialiasing setting in the SQL Developer preferences (for example, rendering a bold lowercase 'm' as a solid rectangle)? If so, I'm afraid I have found this to be a general problem with SQL Developer, I suspect due to the difficulty its Java architecture has in accommodating runtime platforms with different font rendering systems.
