Description

Setting the font for comments to a non-monospaced font would help provide a more readable and humane feel to very literate code with lots of prose. Since the metrics could be quite different, being able to then set the size independently would be quite useful.

Research direction

Start by reviewing DrRacket's existing comment-style settings and how font and size are currently configured. Done means comment styles can specify a non-monospaced font and an independently configurable size, with the behavior checked against existing style handling.
