Agreed that Courier is one of the ugliest typefaces on the planet, but consider for the moment that (in postscript at least) you can change the aspect ratio of the font (with the font transformation matrix) to a plethora of various styles, some of which, are not bad looking. Especially if you start with Courier-Bold. Look at the Manual for the Amiga software package _The Director_ for an example. Wee needed a monospaced font, but couldn't abide Courier. I'm starting to really hate Helvetica too. It really IS an ugly font. -- ``In a few years, the only thing that will be made in America is a deal'' richard@gryphon.COM {...}!gryphon!richard gryphon!richard@elroy.jpl.nasa.gov
