Description

Older eyes, here, but the typeface used in Monaco renders smaller than ace (even if it is advertised as the same point size).

Embiggening the whole page makes the playground controls UI cartoonishly large. Requesting a size bump for Monaco's font or even a control in all configurations to make it settable.

Research direction

Start by locating the Playground's Monaco editor font-size configuration and compare it with the existing Ace editor settings. Done means Monaco text can be enlarged independently of the surrounding playground controls, either through a larger default or a user-settable size.
