  28 This page let you test the rendering font-family declaration for monospaced fonts. TODO: add some references here :-)

  31 Erwin Dokter had the following explanation on <a href="https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/33496">Bugzilla #33496</a>:
  32 </p>
  33 <blockquote>
  34 By default, a (Windows) browser has it's default font-sizes set at 16px for
  35 serif and sans-serif, and 13px for monospace. Except in IE, where you cannot
  36 set any font-sizes... it uses 16px for all fonts.
  37 <br/>
  38 Vector has a base font-size of 0.8em, and most browsers *correctly* scale down
  39 all fonts, including the monospace font, accordingly. So monospace is shown at
  40 0.8 x 13px = 10px (which is perceived as 'too small'). But when you assign any
  41 font besides just "monospace", those browsers will no longer treat it as
  42 monospace and use 0.8 x 16px = 13px instead.
  43 </blockquote>
  44 <p>
  45 Additionally, it seems that textareas have their own font-size set in Chrome
  46 (but not Firefox and other browsers), making them unaffected by this behavior.
