That is a good solution. I think I will consider this.

I don't usually customise my fonts and go with the default latex
fonts. Do you have any suggestions what fonts that would be
appropriate here? I tried using XITS, but that didn't help.

I have considered this, but as I mentioned I am not well versed in
lisp. Going this route might be more fun, but not good for work. ;)
