Out of curiosity, why do you use a non-monospace font?

weiying-chen commented 4 years ago

@J-Fields Thanks for paying attention to the issue.

I use non-monospaced fonts when I'm writing instead of programming (e.g. writing an article, ebook, etc.)

I think this issue is somewhat relevant since VS Code added a wrapping strategy for non-monospaced fonts: "editor.wrappingStrategy": "advanced".
