Fixed.  (As of a few minutes ago.)  See Whisker version 1.1alpha on 
SqueakMap.

It now uses the Code Font from Preferences for the method panes.  (I 
think Whisker pre-dated the existence of the special "code font".)

Yeah, these are known issues.  Getting Whisker to automatically update 
itself (like the regular Browsers do) upon outside code changes is a 
bit trickier than with a regular browser, since you have a bunch of 
hierarchies to traverse through, you might have to deselect window 
panes, etc.  Actually, it's doable, but last I tried it there were some 
performance issues, mostly due to problems in HierarchicalListMorph 
which need to be cleaned up.

Hmm, that should be working...

Me too. ;)
