Fixed width fonts are inherently hard to read. I would rather stick with a
proportional font if possible.

There's actually no reason we have to use a free font for this extension since
we're not distributing any fonts with the software. According to U.S. law (and
most other countries as well) copyright is not applicable to typefaces (only to
the fonts themselves). In other words, there is no associated intellectual
property in the output of the font, only in the software of the font itself.

We should actually be using Arial Unicode MS:

                    Characters     Glyphs
Arial Unicode MS    38,917         50,377
DejaVu Sans         5,467          5,762
FreeSerif           7,203          8,995
