Description
It seems visual studio code estabilshes if a font can be used
by checking if the bounding box of 'i' = 'w'. If they're the same width then it will let you code with it.
Coding fonts is probably a big target market. Would be good to be able to check if a font meets the vscode criteria, and also maybe a way to force the widths to all be the same? (I've handmade audiowide mono with font forge so the widths are fairly monospaced, but font forge crashes on me so often it's hard for me to work with it anymore.)
