Hm, [that post](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/substituting-elements-of-array-is-very-slow/65036/10) looks okay (not great, but ok) for me:

There still seems to be an extra character on the top line, and the gap between lines isn’t great… but what you’re seeing is almost certainly font-related. Many monospace aren’t truly monospace for unicode if they need to reach for a fallback unicode character or some such.

Our `code, pre` font stack is currently:

```css
font-family: Consolas, Menlo, Monaco, "Lucida Console", "Liberation Mono", "DejaVu Sans Mono", "Bitstream Vera Sans Mono", "Courier New", monospace;

```

What’s it look like to ship JuliaMono as a web font? Can we do that? We should do that.

But also with only a dozen or so samples these histograms just aren’t that useful in the first place. I’d just trim their output in cases like this.
