Description

Much earlier in dev there was a regression for fonts in the memory map to be non-monospace and unfortunately the fix at the time didn't actually fix segments, just sections. Need to identify the root cause and fix it.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the memory map font behavior and compare the "segments" section with the already-fixed sections. Trace where each section's font is assigned and identify the root cause; done means segments render in a monospace font without regressing sections.
