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:
mixed-pitch is on MELPA. Set up MELPA and then you can simply do M-x package-install mixed-pitch.
If you use use-package:
(use-package mixed-pitch
:hook
;; If you want it in all text modes:
(text-mode . mixed-pitch-mode))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.
If you use company for autocompletion, results in the popup window may appear to zig-zag. A workaround is to install and use company-box or company-childframe. As a bonus, this is currently much faster than company’s built-in mechanism.
