Issue Description:

If possible allow the user to set the font for text snippets or propose globally a ligature font for code snippets on the forum.

It would be great if the snippets were rendered with with `FiraCode`

https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode

Raw representation of the snippets remains untouched, only the visual representation is modified for better readability.

I personally hate ligature code fonts, and they aren't standard on the internet, so it would have to be an opt-in thing. :-) I suspect we're not messing much with the Discourse CSS at all, though. On the flip side, it should be easy enough to add through a browser plugin, since Discourse has pretty obvious places to write CSS rules (.cooked pre code).

Comment by Nicole Jacque (JIRA)

Yeah, I don't think we'd want to make this change universally. I'll see if the Discourse folks have any suggestions.
