Source Code Pro as the default font for the Editor?
Just asking,
What do you think about using a standard font like Source Code Pro as
the default font for Editor?

It seems that the SIL Open Font License is APLv2 compatible
https://apache.org/legal/resolved.html#category-b
I don't know why you call it "standard". I'm currently using IBM Plex
Mono (SIL as well).
https://www.ibm.com/plex/gallery/
I'd love having a Look and Feel with IBM Plex Fonts (both Sans & Mono)
for the whole UI.
Cheers,
Antonio

Thank you all!
Very useful insights!

Experience from actually trying to write a plugin that embedded a font: You
can't in any useful way for the editor. You can programmatically install a
font on Java for use by the JVM, but the resulting Font object then has to
be passed around by reference. Editor colorings look up fonts by name from
xml files in the system filesystem.
You can have a plugin that has a prioritized list of fonts for UI elements
and uses the first one that exists, setting the right UIManager key value
pairs. But not for the editor. Conceivably, you could have a dynamic
filesystem layer that found the font and generated a fake xml file with the
right data, but it would either be non editable, or as soon as the user
edits it, their edits will be saved in a layer above it and it will never
be read in startup again.
The best bet for something vaguely like this would be modifying the editor
infrastructure to allow for a prioritized list of fonts, ala CSS, and to
preserve the alternates on editing.

I think that fonts are a highly subjective matter, that depends on OS,
screen and preferences).
I for example prefer Hack.
