on my research on fonts i found this at http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/r_harvey/fonts.htm
quote: "It just never fits or works right, and pity the poor computer user who has to try to read it for hours at a time. The font is the problem, since Courier was designed to look like an IBM Selectric typewriter of the 1970s, with eighty characters per line and six lines per inch, not to look good on the screen. It does do a good job of looking like a typewriter, but it certainly doesn't make us or our products look professional."
