8 years ago I like that idea, it's a simple and straightforward solution to that mess. However that would require a method to force sublime (or another editor) to use those specific font versions. I'll look into it but am open for ideas! Also, a small subset of the alphabet would be enough I think.
My suggestion is to have the alphabet three times at the top: once in regular, once in bold, once in italic. Why? I've discovered YET another supposedly "mono" font that isn't actually mono. Roboto mono, which I was really liking (and had stopped looking for a good programming font), has a different width italic. Having the alphabet three times would really help with rapidly determining which fonts aren't true mono.
