@beachycove: thanks for those tips. Nisus is a good suggestion, although I see that v5 doesn't run on anything < System 7. Because I wish to use both my SE and SE/30 (one at home, one at the office) I would prefer to stick with my beloved System 6.0.8 if at all possible. But I'll switch to 7 if need be, the more so because I use Nisus on my MBPr anyway (it's the only thing that works together well enough with Scrivener and Bookends for creating drafts).
Your point of fonts is interesting, and after playing around for a bit I already arrived at Monaco independently from your advice. On the MBPr, I use Courier Prime (a free, much-improved version of the classic; if you're interested, look here to download: http://www.quoteunquoteapps.com/courierprime/) and it seems the only font that really works on the SE/30's screen.
The SE is now off to the Dutch Apple museum, a volunteer organization that also services old Macs for their supporters (I can't thank them enough, so if you're a Dutch 68K enthusiast, give them a visit at http://www.applemuseum-nederland.nl!). I've decided to leave the SE/30 cosmetically "as is" for now: no Retrobrighting. However, I am thinking of taking out both hard drives, doing a SCSI2SD conversion and installing an Ethernet card (if I can find one).
So, next step: Ethernet cards. Alas, the only place to get them appears to be eBay, and the first one I ordered from the U.S. arrived in two pieces at its destination in the Netherlands. Does anyone know of a different supplier?
