Inconsistent usage of font width (condensed characters) in branch names #10

I am seeing some weird font artifacts when loading a repository on GitFourchette's UI; specifcally, the text in branch names (both in the "pills" in the commit history graph, and in the list of branches in the sidebar) appear to have different font widths, some being more condensed than others:

I'm not sure if this is intentional (e.g. to make longer branch names readable without taking up a lot of space), but it makes the UI feel a bit awkward and inconsistent.

Note also that the bold font in the current (HEAD) commit looks a bit off, as if the text has been artificially "boldened" instead of using a proper bold variant of the relevant font.

I can see that the diff font is customizable in the settings, so perhaps the overall UI font could also be made customizable? And in case the condensed font effect is indeed intentional, I'd love for it to be toggleable in the settings (I'd rather the branch labels take up more space than appear with different weights depending on the length of their names).
