Rethinking code style

[germa89]

I'm not super happy about the readability of the text rendered as code:

And some people (@RomanIlchenko1308 ) have already pointed out that the size looks smaller than the rest of the body text.

Quick fix is to increase the font-size a bit (to 15.5px) so we can improve readability and visual impact.

However, I'm partial to change the font altogether. I personally like Roboto condensed Light [Link] (size: normal (15px))(https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Roboto+Condensed?preview.text=package,%20ansys-mapdl-core,%20pro&preview.text_type=custom):

Or even better consolas (size: normal (15px)):

I acknowledge that half pixels will just be rounded, but it has some effects in some cases (zoom).

consolas is a great choice, and is my go-to font when I'm formatting monospace code in emails, Word, etc. But I think the issue will be cross-platform availability; consolas is a Microsoft-owned font and generally isn't available on non-Windows machines.

Inconsolata might be a good option, it's inspired by consolas, and is available for free on google fonts here, which is great, because that means we can include it in the CSS as a web font.

Font availability is always a bit of a pain. I really like cascadia-code, but whilst it's an open source font, there's currently no official webfont support.

Using Inconsolata together with @import and font-size 15.5px.

New font looks nice!
