Description

[Emilio Cobos Álvarez (:emilio)]

It's already mostly an alias, due to how we serialize it.

Attachment: Bug 1537594 - Make the fixed generic family a parse-time alias to monospace. r=jfkthame

As discussed on IRC, fixed is only used for prefs right now, and:

• We already copy the fixed size to the monospace font.
• We already serialize the fixed family as "monospace" in the style system.

So it already works somewhat inconsistently. Making it an alias makes it
work consistently.
