After-thought test 2: proportional fonts* work fine.  Nearly all have 
monospaced digits, with extra space around '1' if there is no bottom bar.  So 
those also have nicely aligned right-justified columns in the sidebar.  And the 
one font I found with proportional digits, Miriam Libre, still had readable 
numbers.

* Given the PEP 8 discouragement of the sort of vertical alignment, such as

one      =  1
eight    =  8
ten      = 10
nineteen = 19

which people, including me, have done with other languages, using a 
proportional font with python is not nearly as crazy as some people claim, and 
not to be totally disregarded.  The main issue is line length and what happens 
when someone else views the same file with a fixed-pitch font.
