Description
Extracted from https://github.com/posit-dev/ark/pull/771
There is some difference between the font in the Console and the font in the Editor for parameter documentation

Interesting, in the Console it looks like it is trying to respect the editor.fontFamily, but in the Editor it does not (and probably should not? not sure.). Its easy to see if you set the editor font family to times new roman
