How are you going to tell what OS.
Bear in mind the server version (which I find runs much better than desktop) only has the concept of a browser agent.
I think the concept of specific font on a cross platform tool is not good IMHO.

As long as you fall back to

font-family: “monospace”;

Just a thought, if v4 is web based - why don't you use webfonts, like whatever is available on https://fonts.google.com/?category=Monospace
with the option to fall back to the old ones?
Also, could this be easily configurable?

I had only ever used the hosted versions of Google fonts so I wrote off this option for cases where there is no internet connection. However it does seem like you can download them - we can potentially package the application with a Google font rather than rely on native fonts that come with the OS.

Monospace, which we currently use, and Menlo, the proposed new default.

Menlo only applies for Macs, Consolas is the new proposed font for Windows.

I like it! I agree with the earlier poster that the line height could be decreased -- but not by much. Perhaps a pixel or two.

Yeah, something was bugging me about it too - I think it was the line height.

Yeah, line height is a little wonky now because we're working with two fonts with different x-heights. I'm looking into Google fonts now, it would be so great if both applications could rely on the same font.
