'Hear hear' to these recent posts from Thomas, Paul and the two Davids!
I don't object to the fixed width, but the code font has always been
spindly compared to the rest of the documentation text. I find this
makes it harder to read anyway.
The stroke width I see is 1px (Firefox at 100%). This makes the stroke
dominated by edge effects; the surrounding white dilutes its colour.
Do the WCAG recommendations recognise this? If not, please don't apply
their levels to this case.
The demo shows me text that is slightly discoloured. The differences in
colour are so vague that they require attention. Attention to the
differences detracts from attention to the colours. I don't get as far
as judging if attention to the colours aids attention to the text.
Cheers,
Robin
