Confusion about JB vs Consolas on website #644

Hi, not a JB font issue per se but this part of the website is very confusing:

It implies consolas is wider than JB and its lines will run longer. But when you drag the slider, it's clear the JB lines are significantly longer. So what is that section saying?

IMHO the term “wider” means Consolas is wider than Inconsolata, Iosevka, etc, but not than JB Mono.
