Yep, there's an idea: relative sizing would be preferable to absolute
sizing. So comments could be, say, -2pt or uncompiled code +1pt. Then
you've only got to change a 'master' value for the whole lot to get bigger
or smaller.
(Still waiting for computers to come with a built-in "zoom" function though...)

One other idea... maybe have an option to let users to toggle between
'hinted' formatting, where differences are fairly minimal, and 'blatant',
where they are extremely obvious.
I find that for much of the time I don't need one bit of text to appear in
"10pt Old English" and another in "18pt Sand";) in order to read or write a
script. Widely varying fonts/sizes/styling may also reduce ordinary
readability (a reason why I mostly use only colour to differentiate stuff
myself). Other times I do need some obvious reminder as to which word's a
variable and which is a keyword. Anyway, it's just a thought.
