654803 - wiki.mozilla.org stylesheet uses a non-distinctive sans font for monospaced text on Linux

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Websites :: wiki.mozilla.org, defect)

Description

[Jim Blandy :jimb]

Attachment: screenshot of how text on wiki.mozilla.org renders <code> on Linux

The stylesheet for wiki.mozilla.org doesn't make <code> look very distinctive on Linux; apparently Linux is getting a sans font for that. Could we change the stylesheet to select Courier or something similar? (Not specifically asking for that font, just something more typewriter-ish.)

Here's the page I'm editing:

Attached is a screenshot of how it looks for me.

Not sure if this is still an issue. I'm using linux and things look okay for me. 

However, due to limited resources, we're not addressing non-critical issues on deprecated themes.

If this is still an issue for you, I suggest modifying your userstyle[1] so that the text displays in something more readable. If you need help doing this, ask in #wiki.
