Every web designer should devote a lot of work to ensure that the end user never sees the Courier New font.

I can't imagine how people using Windows live with that font everywhere. It's humiliating. Y'all have good vision, innit?

@bouncepaw still better than comic sans; maybe? :)

@jonny it's too thin compared to other fonts of the same weight. It means the following:

* The lines don't match the pixel grid at all on lower resolution screens.
* The lines are thin, so it's a legibility nightmare. I don't have the best vision, and I have problems with it.

Also:

* 1 and l look too similar. Maybe other character pairs have similar problems.

Just using Courier instead of Courier New is a good idea.

Courier New is fine on paper for some reason though.
