Monospace font isn't monospace on Android on Chrome.

[verhovsky]

If you open https://docs.python.org in Chrome on an Android phone, the code samples are in a sans-serif proportional font.

Currently this is the font-family for code tags:

tt, code, pre {
    font-family: monospace, sans-serif;
    font-size: 96.5%;
}

monospace not working is a longstanding Android Chrome issue, see https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/230878/code-blocks-dont-show-up-as-monospace-text-on-the-mobile-website-on-android for details. I think you have to specify fonts by name. If you're going to do this, please set Source Code Pro as the first one, it's the best monospace font in my opinion. Or you could use the font-family used for code samples on the CPython homepage:

    font-family: Consolas,'Lucida Console','Liberation Mono','DejaVu Sans Mono','Bitstream Vera Sans Mono','Courier New',monospace,sans-serif;

Smartphone:

• Device: Pixel 5
• OS: Android 11
• Browser: Chrome
• Version: 87.0.4280.101

(Firefox works fine)

This is finally fixed in Chrome Canary (Chrome 96)
