Think of the Sigil Code View font preference as a kind of Schrödinger's cat. Changing the
code_view_font_family_standard value definitely works, but if you open the Preferences dialog box to double-check the setting, Sigil will reset it to the default monospaced font.

I also prefer monospaced fonts for European languages, however, Courier New (and other monospaced fonts) usually don't render non-Latin text well and I often have to edit sigil.ini to select a non-monospaced font. Also, users with dyslexia apparently often use Comic Sans (a sans-serif font), if no special dyslexic font, e.g.
OpenDyslexic is available.
How about adding a "Monospaced fonts only" check box below the Code View Standard Font drop-down box or removing the monospaced fonts filter altogether?
