I do not need a programming font, I need a nice serif font for when I take notes in `.md` files.

Georgia looks ugly in the editor.



Serif for .md is great until the markdown rendering engine requires spaces indenting for nested lists.


I don't mind a nice serif in my editor. I often switch to Besley*[0] for my markdown or latex docs.

A slab serif monospaced font or a typewriter one might be good alternatives.
