I suppose this may be what you meant by "the code tells a > different story". What about searching first for some other popular > sans-serif alternatives, such as Liberation Mono? IMO it would be good to make the "Monospace" family better on supported platforms, feel free (you or anyone else) to suggest changes. Just remember that the actual font families we put there should satisfy the following basic requirements: . they should either come with the OS out of the box, or be free fonts . they should be present on all (or at least most) versions of the OS (if they are not available on all versions, the order in the family list should be tailored accordingly, with those which are always available last) . if family looks good on one platform, but ugly on another, we should probably not include it Thanks. P.S. On my system here Courier is not a TTF/OTF font, so it looks ugly.
