I played some more with settings and the hints do inherit the
monospaced settings.  I made a one-line change to my local copy to add
a non-breaking space at the end of the hint text which has increased
readability dramatically.
hints.js:237 hintElem.innerHTML = hintText + "&nbsp";

It's cheap and effective, at least for me.
