Come to think of it, does anyone know how I can modify the fonts that show up in gnome terminal and vim, and even the console while I'm at it, and any other fonts that are used by programs like firefox and thunderbird?

In vim, :set list enables showing whitespace. :set listchars=tab:>-,trail:- will show tabs as >---- and trailing whitespace as a hyphen. You can use the highlight for SpecialKey to set the coloring you would like for these visible characters (e.g. to make them subtle). With a UTF-8 terminal, you can set the listchars to any Unicode character you have in your font, so you can probably find something nice and subtle.
