After seeing this proposal I tried playing with Noto Sans Mono. I
find that while it comes with many weights, none look right to me.
Language is English.
I'm testing in emacs. My usual default is Source code sans semibold
and I find that very pleasing. I also tried Dejavu Sans Mono
semibold, which looks very similar. But if I try Noto Sans Mono, no
weight looks right. Medium is too light, and the next weight,
semibold, is too heavy.

Does Noto have the default font-variant-numeric as tabular-nums? (non
proportional decimal digits) because it will be a welcomed change.
The current default of Cantarell makes any number showing application a
pain to style, specially on toolkits that use the system font but are
unable to change font variants (Java Swing with GTK Look and Feel).
Even GNOME applications aren't properly styled for number entry use
cases. See for example Calculator where 111,111,111 looks like a smaller
number than 99,999,999 when the are one on top of the other, because the
font is proportional by default.
