@VATVSLPR@c.im FAQ is something I've considered, yes. I'll probably do so sooner than later, but to summarize the many reasons to prefer proportional over monospace for code: I believe monospace is a distraction.
FWIW, when I use Parchment (for most of my programming and all of my writing), I use the system default sans-serif font. That is how I expect most users to use it as well.

@vtrlx@mastodon.social @VATVSLPR@c.im i also find the argument that monospace is ascii-centric to be compelling

@vtrlx@mastodon.social @VATVSLPR@c.im it's about time i give it a try on using proportional fonts again for coding. just realized that coincidentally, the last time i really had fun writing code was using the Leo Editor and it *was* setup that way 🤷 anyway, the editor looks great ^_^
