I am using Fira and like it a lot, but I'd like to try a proportional (ie not monospace) font with ligatures that's designed for programming (e.g. bigger symbols and very distinct braces, brackets, parentheses etc). So if anyone knows one...
Sorry, are you serious? A not monospaced font for programming? Do you really hate yourself so much? Believe me that wouldn't make you happy. Yeah Adobe and I'm twink to you (Extension Toolkit).
Thanks for your concern, but like most things prefixed with "believe me", I'm going to ignore this.
Vertical alignment other than indenting is stupid, there's no reason for monospace other than tradition. I'll take my readability and horizontal space instead.
