Mixed pitch is a minor mode that enables mixing fixed-pitch (also known as fixed-width or monospace) and variable-pitch (AKA "proportional") fonts. It tries to be smart about which fonts get which face. Fonts that look like code, org-tables, and such remain fixed-pitch and everything else becomes variable-pitch. The variable ~mixed-pitch-fixed-pitch-faces~ is a list of faces that will remain fixed-pitch in mixed-pitch-mode:

• Installation ~mixed-pitch~ is on MELPA. Set up MELPA and then you can simply do ~M-x package-install mixed-pitch~.
• Configuration If you use =use-package=:

  +BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp

  (use-package mixed-pitch :hook ;; If you want it in all text modes: (text-mode . mixed-pitch-mode))

  +END_SRC

• Known issues org SRC blocks shown in variable pitch ~mixed-pitch.el~ relies on a face introduced in org version 9.0 to make SRC blocks fixed-pitch. Without this, some things in source blocks may appear variable-pitch. The solution is to update your version of org. As a workaround, consider adding org-block to ~~mixed-pitch-fixed-pitch-faces~. See also the discussion in issue #2. Interaction with company If you use company for autocompletion, results in the popup window may appear to zig-zag. A workaround is to install and use [[https://github.com/sebastiencs/company-box][company-box]] or [[https://github.com/tumashu/company-childframe][company-childframe]]. As a bonus, this is currently much faster than company's built-in mechanism.
