Use default font with tabular numbers

Open long39ng opened this issue 4 years ago • 0 comments

The current default font is Fira Sans, which does have tabular figures, but the feature is not enabled by default:

  • Fira Sans default

    Fira Sans default

  • Fira Sans with tabular figures

IMO, tabular numbers should always be used in data visualisations – at least in axis labels (see e.g. https://medium.com/nightingale/choosing-a-font-for-your-data-visualization-2ed37afea637#5f02).

Perhaps you can consider enabling Fira's tabular figures (e.g. using OpenType Feature Freezer) or replace it with another font that has tabular figures by default?
