Actually, I think monowidth fonts are ugly, and even more so when mixed with proportional ones: "foo *bar baz* zam" where "bar baz" is monowidth always looks like it groups (foo bar) (baz zam) because of the the fat monowidth space character between bar and baz. Why not pick some decent, though distinctive, serifed proportional font? Note that CLL uses a proportional font for Lojban which is kind of semi-serif, mostly sans but with a serif on "l" where it's really needed. -- Her he asked if O'Hare Doctor tidings sent from far John Cowan coast and she with grameful sigh him answered that www.ccil.org/~cowan O'Hare Doctor in heaven was.
