Variable width font for Pandas tables in Hydrogen output area #1622

Description:
Prior to September 2018, the Hydrogen output area used a variable width font (Arial or similar), which worked well for general text output or Pandas' formatted data tables. However, in September 2018, a change was applied to styles/hydrogen.less, to use a monospaced font for the output area. See here. This causes my editor to use Courier New (or similar) for output, which is lighter, looser-spaced and less legible than Arial. This makes most output less attractive, less information-dense and harder to read.
I restored the older, more attractive behavior by going to Atom > Preferences > Packages > Hydrogen > View Code > styles > hydrogen.less > Output Area > .multiline-container, then commenting out "font-family: monospace;". But most users would not want to do that.
Would it be possible to add a "Font for output area" option to Hydrogen, for users who prefer a variable-width font for the output area?
