8 years ago Actually I wanted that for nicer array printing -- monontype just works better when you want reproducible alignment without any fancy html (since I didn't yet get around to nice generalized array views with lazy loading and all that fancy stuff ;)). When using Windows' default monospace font (Consolas) I'm not getting any checkmarks either, btw. This most definitely is a bug somewhere in Atom or it's dependencies, since Consolas does include that character.

Am I right that this is just to fix the issue where the checkbox doesn't show up correctly? I kinda think in general user-customized fonts are better handled in the CSS, but I agree that it's a bug if the checkbox doesn't show up on a large number of machines (mine included):
I would support just displaying monospace by default unless we're displaying HTML.
