a proper mono spaced fonts (a gyre project btw) has the advantage of
consisten tlook as well as being monospaced and it can also used for
manuals on typesetting math

in scite i used the lua extension interface for creating a language
strip (so alphabets per selectable language including all math stuff)

sure, because there are concepts like \left \right an dthings with
