I've been bothered by the assignement operator (:=) and the way the colon and the equal sign aren't verticaly aligned when coding in Pharo. So I began a quest to find a pharo-friendly font were the colon and equal sign are aligned. Turn out most monospaced fonts don't qualify but I did find the following fonts:
Fira Code (https://fontlibrary.org/en/font/fira-code <https://fontlibrary.org/en/font/fira-code>) has a := ligature that doesn't work in Pharo. Iosevka extended (https://fontlibrary.org/en/font/iosevka-extended <https://fontlibrary.org/en/font/iosevka-extended>) also has a := ligature that doen't work in Pharo. Mononoki (https://fontlibrary.org/en/font/mononoki <https://fontlibrary.org/en/font/mononoki>) has the two characters properly aligned but I dislike the appareance of that font. The @, in particular, looks like it comes from a low-resolution terminal from the early '80s. Fantasque Sans Mono (https://fontlibrary.org/en/font/fantasque-sans-mono <https://fontlibrary.org/en/font/fantasque-sans-mono>) has perfectly aligned colon and equal sign and moreover has a nice informal look.
So, Fantasque Sans Mono is now my favorite font for coding in Pharo ð.
