the issue that sets the new Pharo 3.0 look&feel uses a monospaced font for the code. It is only a coincidence that it is not set this way in the prebuild Pharo image.
I have big doubts if this is the way to go. I think that proportional fonts are more natural for Smalltalk and without them the code is harder to read and not so beauty. I think that something like elastic tabstops would be much better solution. http://tibleiz.net/code-browser/elastic-tabstops.html
Yeah, I can't imagine many Smalltalkers liking a mono-spaced font, I personally hate it.

On the other way, it is only my personal opinion and if you think that the Eclipse-like look will attract more new users...
I don't like Eclipse ;-) But like Marcus says, it is just a different icon set. We want win any points on originality or personality though, which is a missed opportunity.
