Come to think of it, does anyone know how I can modify the fonts that

wanted such a thing.  Is anyone aware of fonts already so modified?

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.
