Text files have no font to speak of; the font is based purely on system configurations, so font choice ultimately will not affect the outcome of the FAQ. When writing a FAQ, use a fixed-width font to accurately create tables, charts, diagrams or otherwise paragraph alignments. Courier New is one of the commonly used fixed-width fonts. It takes several days, sometimes longer depending on the backlog. Guides are rarely checked on weekends. Wait until the site is updated.
