visionOS support also coming? :)

Suggested change

	macos: 'Courier',
	macos: 'SF Mono',

Can we use SF Mono as default for macOS?

Done a bit of checking, and looks like SF fonts are not included by default for all systems to this day on both iOS and macOS.

In this case Menlo or Monaco could be a viable alternative for both platforms:

Any updates on this one? MacOS support would be huge!

So the formatting is incorrect for 1 frame:
