Object definitions look very out of place #184

Open CendioOssman opened 2 years ago

For object references, alabaster uses this styling (since objects are wrapped in a <code>):

pre, tt, code {
    font-family: 'Consolas', 'Menlo', 'DejaVu Sans Mono', 'Bitstream Vera Sans Mono', monospace;
    font-size: 0.9em;
}

This styling is very appropriate as the monospace font looks larger than the other text otherwise.

However object ''definitions'', Sphinx never uses a <code> element, insted applying the monospace font to the <dt class="sig"> element. This makes the definitions look very out of place as the text for those is much larger.

Since monospace and a font size reduction go hand in hand, I would suggest that Alabaster needs this addition:

.sig {
    font-size: 0.9em;
}

I wonder if these lines were originally supposed to handle this, and the HTML build has changed what it outputs since then:
