I thought i'd talked to most people in Agaric at some point and gotten agreement but maybe it's mostly circulating in my own head: that the highly featured use of monospace terminal-style font was a bit much, even for us code writers and terminal users, and that it could be offputting to people who don't get the reference (but have an intuitive sense that variable-width fonts are nicer on the eyes for reading).

We decided to stick with the mono font for now.
