Ye gods, please no more Courier New! Maybe, just maybe if you're trying to reproduce 1950s police reports or something, but there's so many much nicer monspaced fonts available these days. I'd start with:
"Consolas", "Menlo", "DejaVu Sans Mono", "Bitstream Vera Sans Mono", monospace
...but you might want to include Andale Mono, Droid Sans Mono, Inconsolata, Lucida Console or Monaco as well.
- chadgeidel 16y agoI love Consolas, but really if your visitors are not on Vista/Windows 7 it's unlikely they will have it. EDIT: I believe there is a large population of folks that don't like ClearType hinted fonts. Consolas looks absolutely horrible unless you have ClearType on and tuned. I can't speak to Consolas on any Linux-based OS as I've never tried it.
- leif 16y agoI don't like it either, but people are used to it and it serves its purpose. You can put it after 'mono' if you like.
