Funny how the X11 "Fixed" bitmap font [0] is chosen as the default font on my system. This appears to be caused by 'fixed' being set as a fallback font instead of 'monospace', which, on most systems, is an alias for the default monospace font which is usually an antialiased one.

Otherwise the editor seems to work very nicely.

One cool thing is that this is a Mozilla project, which means it's open source, and it's even on Github: probably worth filing that over on https://github.com/mozilla/thimble.webmaker.org
