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.

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

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.
