I can't imagine anyone else will want go back to X after upgrading to 2004, but yes, that's how to do it.
I really did not want to either, I thought it would be only a temp thing and that this font display issue would be able to be worked out. Now that I have found out that this is just how it is, which is surprising to me since I don't have any other apps that have this problem, and I use Monaco 9 in all of them, I suppose I will just have to find some "pretty" font that is easy for me to read and work with.
I have a feeling a once the bulk of people update, there will be a lot of people who really have issue with this, then again, I could be totally wrong and everyone will just start using html email and not plain text, who knows :-)
I think that most people who are discomfited by it will be just a wee bit more adaptable than you, and will either go to 10 pts or will find a font that's close in appearance to Monaco and doesn't have the problem. Like the Andale Mono Beth suggested.
I think I have to agree with you on this one, I know I am being a little strict about this one issue, it just happens to matter a whole lot to me. Second to Bbedit, I spend most of my time in E-rage. Its this contrast of toggling from a font view in Bbedit then back to E-rage that just announces to me that something is not how I want it :-)
I will try a few other fonts and hopefully come to some semi-happy medium. However, I know there are some who will feel as strong about this as I, I even think that Dan Crevier, whom I assume is a developer feels almost similar, since he mentioned that he spend quite some time trying to resolve this as well. I am not fully convinced it can not be remedied, there are too many modern OS X apps that do not have this issue, I can not see that E-rage is the only one that has adopted ATSUI.
Yes, it did admittedly bother me at first, but I found a font I liked, and there were no complaints about this from others including the beta testers, so I made peace with it :-)
