Description

I wanted to see if there was any interest in using the system font stacks in prometheus.io docs?

Standard text would use the font stack:

font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol";

and monospace text would use the font stack:

font-family: ui-monospace, "SF Mono", Menlo, Consolas, Monaco, "Ubuntu Mono", "Source Code Pro", "Liberation Mono", "Lucida Console", monospace;

This covers most platforms including Mac OSX, iOS, Windows, Android, Ubuntu Linux, most Linux distributions using GNOME desktop.

Research direction

Start by locating the CSS entry point used to style the prometheus.io docs; the issue does not name a file or test. Apply the proposed system stacks to standard and monospace text, then verify that the documentation renders with the intended fonts across supported platforms.
