The font size shown in your 2nd screenshot looks smaller than the
existing docs. I did a comparison of Magnus' version and the live
version. The same monospace example in both renders the font as
precisely a calculated 12.7667px.

In fact it looks more like the proportional font is too small. My
value for that is still at the default value of 16. Does yours
differ?
