Research direction

Start in src/components/Editor/index.js around line 51 and compare the predefined fontFamily with the referenced Prism theme CSS. Check how className and inline styles are currently handled; done means the predefined fontFamily no longer overrides the Prism theme and the requested style customization behavior is addressed.

Description

Line 51 fontFamily: "inherit"

https://github.com/FormidableLabs/react-live/blob/e21fd338e61641b1960d1f3650d6ba7482ceae03/src/components/Editor/index.js#L48-L51

Will override Prism theme

https://github.com/PrismJS/prism/blob/0d4b6cb64e72a172fc64423c04aed4ac8b59cd0b/themes/prism.css#L12

Further, why not let users define all the style (margin, outline, padding, fontFamily) by themself through className? This way, React Live will become a true HeadlessUI component.
