Running Emacs 27.2 on Windows 10.

My Org mode table is misaligned when I use (add-hook 'org-mode-hook 'variable-pitch-mode) (see the code below). Yes, my fonts are applied but the table is misaligned. If I delete the (add-hook 'org-mode-hook 'variable-pitch-mode) my table is well aligned but my font is gone. Therefore, I was wondering if there is a way to keep my font but keep my table aligned? Does my problem come from the font I used (Fira Code Retina)? I tried adding a hook removing the variable-pitch-mode for orgtbl-mode-hook but it did not work. I am quite new using Emacs; I am planning to use it for Latex and some coding.

(custom-theme-set-faces
       'user
       '(variable-pitch ((t (:family "Fira Code Retina" :height 180 :weight thin))))
       '(fixed-pitch ((t ( :family "Fira Code Retina" :height 160)))))
        
        (add-hook 'org-mode-hook 'variable-pitch-mode)

Answer: I solved it: I completely forgot the next line.

(set-face-attribute 'org-table nil  :inherit 'fixed-pitch)

Now everything works.

Just add the following line

(set-face-attribute 'org-table nil  :inherit 'fixed-pitch)

Also in change the 'user for 'leuven-dark (this is an example but it could be another theme). see code bellow

(custom-theme-set-faces
       'leuven-dark
       '(variable-pitch ((t (:family "Fira Code Retina" :height 180 :weight thin))))
       '(fixed-pitch ((t ( :family "Fira Code Retina" :height 160)))))
        
        (add-hook 'org-mode-hook 'variable-pitch-mode)

Another possibility, if you still want variable pitch text while still keeping the tables aligned is using package Valign, which aligns tables in Org mode and markdown mode by pixel lines.
