Mixing fonts is hard. Both fonts must have the same size, but
also the same x-height [0], which is the height of lowercase
letters like x. This can be seen very clearly with inline code
like "contain a <code>dub.json</code>" at the page you linked to.
Zoom in (Ctrl+) and you see the height difference between "a" and
"u".
On websites where fonts are picked from whatever is available on
the system, this is nearly impossible to get right. You either
live with it or embed your own fonts via CSS, which bloats the
page.
