In some instances the font shows odd behaviour. For example in the blue pill-buttons the outline of the fonts seems to be duplicated. You can see that in the following screenshot, which was taken in a session with 2x scaling for a HiDPI monitor:

Also: let's make sure that this displays nicely in non-HiDPI setups. I tried Mona Sans in a regular FullHD screen (no scaling, no HiDPI) and the font was extremely fuzzy on the edges—it may have changed since, but it felt very underwhelming that GitHub/Microsoft would release a font with horrible hinting that will only display nicely for those of us privileged enough to afford a HiDPI setup.

Also: we already have a design style guide which specifies a font to use. If there is any issue with the current font, we should fix it instead of changing the font.

If we want to change the font used for branding WPE, I would say that needs discussion beforehand.

I believe this is a request by Denis to test out Mona and Hubot (the latter of which I dislike) as a common font to use, and I used wpewebkit.org as a testbed since it’s quick to change and build.

Sure, no problem! Testing things is fine 😄
