pre>code should have `font-family: monospace` fallback

The styles for code blocks have a lot of fonts in their font-family list, but unfortunately, none of those are installed on my Ubuntu installation. Whether or not you choose to add a font that Ubuntu systems do have to that list (such as Liberation Mono or Ubuntu Mono), one thing that should certainly be done is adding monospace as the last font in the list as a fallback, so that on systems like mine users do not have to see serif fonts in the code blocks.

@polybuildr This already has the monospace fallback everywhere I can find it. Is there any specific place you're thinking of? e.g. diffs, the File view, etc?

Also, check your browser settings and make sure you have a monospace font set!

In Chrome, Settings > Web content > Customize fonts... then set a Fixed-width font.

In Firefox, Preferences > Content > Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Monospace font.

If that's not the problem, could you also tell me what version of GitLab you're running? (Should be available in the Help section).

@connorshea really sorry for not pointing out where this was occurring - I don't know how I managed to miss that. I was referring to some docs on gitlab.com itself (for example, http://docs.gitlab.com/ce/ci/quick_start/README.html). Inspecting the font-family on <pre> and <code> there gives me Monaco, Bitstream Vera Sans Mono, Lucida Console, Terminal; but no monospace fallback.

Moved from gitlab-org/gitlab-ce#17640

Okay, I've moved this to the docs site issue tracker :)

Ouch. Sorry, didn't realise this was the wrong place.

EDIT: didn't realise *that was the wrong place

No worries!
