Thanks, Tyler, for the directions, which made me burn office hours while looking fort he optimal font face.
One of these faces seems to be assigned to documenting the contents of a tidyverse object. Via the link you can find the face used for printing a data frame vs printing a tibble. The latter one has issues with foreground and background being to similar, as you can see in https://i.imgur.com/Q2lez8e.png (sorry if i am not aware of the custom method of posting images). Following your directions of > Put the cursor over the offending characters, and call the function `M-x > describe-face`. I get the following: Documentation: Basic default face. Defined in ‘faces.el’. Family: Consolas Foundry: outline Width: normal Height: 102 Weight: normal Slant: normal Foreground: #f8f8f2 DistantForeground: unspecified Background: #282a36 Underline: nil Overline: nil Strike-through: nil Box: nil Inverse: nil Stipple: nil Font: #<font-object -outline-Consolas-normal-normal-normal-mono-17-*-*-*-c-*-iso8859-1> Fontset: -outline-Consolas-normal-normal-normal-mono-17-*-*-*-c-*-fontset-auto1 Extend: nil Inherit: nil Clearly, the offending character is a lot darker than it yould be if it used the foreground of the basic default face. Is ESS using the "DistantForeground" and interpreting "unspecified" as "black"? Is there a proper way to let ESS format outputs as default foreground on default background, regardless if it's printing from tidyverse objects or base R objects? Otherwise, the dracula theme works fine with me. Even the auto-dim-other-buffers-mode works like a charm for both light and dark themes. It's just that the workflow suggested here does not work as nicely as I hoped it to do.
