font size in "documentation" tool view

[Jens Reuterberg]

We in the VDG want to set the fixed width font to follow the exact same font 
size as the rest of the desktop (10pt by default IIRC). Mostly because it 
doesn't make sense to have it smaller by default.

Whether that make sense for every single app that uses fixed width I don't know 
(and tbh from our POV its mostly the terminal and Kate that we are overly 
bothered with since those are the ones people see directly where you can't 
assume users feel knowledgeble enough to edit the font)

I mean since we are editing it one pt bigger I am sure we will get complaints 
about it being "too big by default" too, it's just that keeping it the same as 
the rest of the fonts make sense from a logical POV.
