I tried out the monospace font for terminal use, but some of the punctuation characters have terrible spacing, including : and ., so things like

    abc::xyz
and

    some_expression
        .method()
        .method();
look awful.

yes i ran into problem with distinguishing between ; and : as well on this monospace font. i'll say it was fun to try it and i used it for awhile but it isnt suitable for coding purposes. im much more happy now with a highly customizable font like Input[0] where i can make it as wide or as narrow as i like it to be and also customize the various characters

Maybe that's on purpose to discourage airplane pilots from coding their own JS scripts inside the plane.
