"books are black on white and we read those just fine"

Now I wanna see a B&W syntax highlighting setup that uses all the tools available to a book. Font sizes, bold/italics, the use of display fonts here and there, including Comic Sans to highlight Really Bad Ideas...

Not quite that, but I used this theme for a good 6 months once: https://github.com/11111000000/tao-theme-emacs

You laugh but I'm half-way there; I use underlines/bold for things like TODOS/FIXMES, different fonts for comments, different weight for brackets/keywords etc...
