It doesn't looks bad with D, even if I'm not a big fan of the &&

Nice find. I didn't know you could do this. Unfortunately it
doesn't render =E2=84=95 and following characters at the same width,
because I use that a lot.

Bad things are waiting for you to forget a space:

x<-y        (x less-than (negate y)) becomes (x back-arrow y)
x<*ptr      (x less-than (dereference ptr)) becomes (x 
very-haskell-op ptr)


Even worse if you use C++:

MyStrangeTemplate<-5> x;      becomes ((MyStrangeTemplate 
back-arrow 5) greater-than x)


Some things are clearly designed for markup and functional-style 
languages and don't look that good on C-style ones. But apart 
from that, it is well-made. I may use it, but probably not for D.

Oh, yes problem here ! Though with a bit of discipline in the 
writing style you can avoid that (the rule would be to separate 
all lexical tokens with a space). I use Fira since it was 
announced on Reddit and didn't noticed this yet.
