A nit-pick that has bothered me for years...

The font seems to be the same as git-scm.com, which is horrendous [1]
in Linux.
I agree that the fonts haven't looked great to me either.
After investigating all the different fonts specified in the list
(present in macOS and Windows), I sent a fix [2] to pick similar fonts
for Linux.
Thanks for your pull request! I hope we can merge it soon.
The best one is Roboto Slab [3], which looks very similar
to Adelle, and it's free. Alternatively, DejaVu Serif [4] is a good
second option present in many (most?) Linux systems, plus it's how it
looks on Windows with Georgia. And lastly, plain old (but not 90s old)
sans-serif [5].
Thanks for the screenshots too. Yeah, it seems that the fonts you
suggest look better.

Best,
Christian.
