I really like the aesthetics of Iosevka, but the glyphs are really narrow - resulting in severe readability problems for me (I'm diagnosed dyslexic).

You can configure your build to be wider than default. In order of increasing width:

- semi-extended

- extended

- extra-extended

- ultra-extended

I think by default the extended variant is included in most builds anyway, if you want to try it.

FWIW here's a sample of my usual build's extended variant: https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/b49zcjd53oy.png

I'll add that https://github.com/0xType/0xProto is worth checking out, if you haven't. What mono (and proportional) fonts do you find work best for you?

* MonoLisa was pretty good, minus the cursive. As a late/16yo diagnosis under a British curriculum, I cannot express in words just how hostile cursive is. Its continued use in society is an embarrassment /rant

* Intel Commit.

* I am currently using Maple Mono.
