Description Carolyn MacLeod

The default Mac font in the editor is currently "Monaco".
This is old - Apple replaced it with "Menlo" back in 2009 (Snow Leopard).
We should use "Menlo". A big plus is that it supports bold weight (and "Monaco" doesn't).

Should keep Monaco as a fallback, i.e. use:
"Consolas", "Menlo", "Monaco", "Vera Mono", monospace
