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.
