The font used in the editor for blocks is Courier New, and it doesn't appear that this can be changed. Consolas would be a better default, although if it would be user-selectable, I think I'd change it to something like Verdana to improve typographic readibility and conserve real estate, but still be different than normal text (for an inline block, there is rarely any need for the alignment benefits of a non-proportional font).

Visual Studio does not expose font face or size options through the Fonts and Colors dialog at this granularity. While pull request #10 does provide more options for customizing the appearance, it does not provide a method of customizing the font face (like you describe here) or size (which varies for e.g. different header levels).

In a [currently experimental] branch, I added a section under Tools → Options... → Text Editor for Markdown. I should be able to add a custom options page there that allows users to configure the font face and size for the remaining classifications.
