Quick PSA:

[https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/32097](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/32097)

For those of you testing the new composer (either here on meta or your own site) we just swapped the markdown (aka. source code) font to a monospace font.

This helps clarify to users that you are in “markdown” mode vs “rich” mode.

The change aligns the font choice to what is generally accepted in the industry (reddit / stack exchange)

The change only takes effect on sites with rich editor enabled, and should be live here in 20-40 minutes.
