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.
