	Goodbye to the Courier font? - By Tom Vanderbilt - Slate Magazine
		Courier 12 had been put to pasture after several decades of honorable service, like an aging, elegant diplomat whose crisp, cream-colored linen suit and genteel demeanor now seem winningly old-fashioned.
		Courier New 12, created in 1955 by IBM, is perhaps the most recognizable typeface of the 20th century—a visual symbol of typewritten bureaucratic anonymity, the widespread dissemination of information (and a classification of documents), stark factuality, and streamlined efficiency.
		In technical terms, Courier New, like all typewriter fonts, is a "monospaced" typeface: Each letter takes up the same amount of space on a line, essential for tabular uniformity as well as, say, replacing an "i" with a "w" during the correcting process (no longer an issue, of course).

	Courier Font Family
		Courier is a monospace font that resembles the output from a typewriter.
		The design of the original Courier New typeface was commissioned in the 1950s by IBM for use in typewriters, but they did not secure legal exclusivity to the typeface and it was soon a standard font used throughout the typewriter industry.
		As a monospaced font, it has recently found renewed use in the electronic world in situations where columns of characters must be consistently aligned.

	Courier Font \| READABILITY \| Empire Screenwriting Resource
		The irony of discussing readability of your screenplay, and the lack of formatting rules in Hollywood, is that you MUST use 12-point Courier on your script--and it may very well be the least readable font out there.
		Readers have been known to get the heebie-jeebies when they see proportionally-spaced fonts on screenplays, knowing that this means the writer may have squeezed more into a page, thus setting their calculations askew.
		Another fix is to use the Final Draft Courier font, found in their software.

	Usability News - 3.1 - 2001 -- Which Fonts Do Children Prefer to Read Online?
		This study sought to address this need by examining four types of fonts at 12- and 14-point sizes in order to help determine the font combination that is perceived as most readable on computer screens and most preferred by children.
		Examining the font combinations for the desire of a particular font to be used as text in schoolbooks found a significant main effect for font size [F (1, 26) = 42.7, p <.001], again favoring the 14-point size (see Table 2), and for font type [F (3, 78) = 2.4, p <.001].
		Generally the larger, 14-point font size was considered to be easier and quicker to read, as well as being more attractive and more desired to be used in schoolbooks.

	Information Technology: Web Central - Style Sheet Reference - Fonts
		It is a recommended practice to include a generic font family at the end of your list of preferred fonts for a document.
		Since the em unit is based on the size of the font, and the font size can't be relative to itself, it uses the font's parent element as the size reference.
		Font grouping is what is called a "shorthand property." It is a means of adjusting all the font properties in one statement.

	Font Use Guidelines and Information
		Although all of your fonts for use on the KSL web site are defined by the stylesheet, it is sometimes good to have a reference for all web safe fonts.
		These font selections are inherited from the Case branding guidelines and are used campus wide for consistency of appearance across the entire university.
		This is the font you will most likely see on pages that do not define font use either within the page or through a stylesheet.

	On-Screen WordPerfect Fonts
		These fonts may also be known under other names when specific printer drivers are loaded; for instance, the Helvetica fonts are used on-screen when Arial is selected for a PCL printer.
		In general, the Ghostscript fonts are more even in height than are their WordPerfect counterparts, but the Ghostscript Times bold-italic doesn't look any bolder than the italic version (a flaw shared by the WordPerfect font at this size), and some of the Courier bold letters in both implementations are rather too dense.
		Font quality is a function of the font rasterizer, the font files, and the size of the rendered font.

		If the font family name contains white space, it should appear in single or double quotation marks; generic font family names are values and cannot appear in quotation marks.
		Because you do not know which fonts users have installed, you should provide a list of alternatives with a generic font family at the end of the list.

	r_harvey - Font Design
		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.
		Bitmap fonts are surprisingly inexpensive and quick to create, and as easy to use as the fonts that came with Windows.
		While the standard fonts are optimized to give you a lot of text on the screen, many applications need to fill a window with, for instance, 80 columns and 25 lines.

	How to Identify Legacy and Other Fonts
		Font Properties Extension utility to identify Symbol and Unicode fonts.You will learn to tell whether a font is a Symbol font or a Unicode font, by looking at the Courier, Courier New, and WingDings fonts.
		If the entire font matches what is in the first 256 codepoints of a standard Unicode Latin font, like Courier New, then this font is compatible with Unicode and it is safe to use.
		It was appropriate to use a Symbol font for this type of data (graphics).

	StandardFont (Big Faceless PDF Library 2.7.1)
		Note that the characters in the font are defined by the correct Unicode codepoints, rather than just numbers 1 to 255.
		Values are a ratio of the font size, and are typically between 1 and 1.3
		For some fonts (like CJK or barcode fonts) where there is no concept of super or subscript, this value is entirely arbitrary.

		HP's Dark Courier (or BitStream's Courier BT, which is very similar) closely match the Courier typeface found on the original LaserJet, LaserJet II, and LaserJet III, LaserJet 4, and LaserJet 5.
		Hewlett Packard changed to a spindly Courier with the LaserJet 6, which was their first scalable-font printer, and the outcry from users still echoes off the hills (especially in the legal profession, which is a huge market for printers, and in many jurisdictions must file documents in Courier).
		Some moron thought it was important that Courier look elegant when scaled up to six-inch-high characters, and so he/she sacrificed the legibility of it at normal typesizes to make the spindly Courier New.

	Fonts, and text translation
		Fonts in Emacs are named using the standard X Windows format for fonts.
		Since the font strings are rather cumbersome, I would suggest cutting the font string into the kill-ring (which will place it in the clipboard, too) and pasting it (Ctrl-V) into the regedit dialog.
		However, most of the default fonts have italic and italic bold versions whose character widths are larger than the normal version (the only default font that appears to have viable italic and bold versions is Courier New).

		This means that even if a system does not have access to the fonts you've used in a document, it can still display the document correctly because the font definition is right there in the file.
		This also means that fonts in HTML/XHTML documents with names consisting of helvetica, sans-serif, fantasy, timesroman, times, serif, cursive, courier, or monospaced are rendered in PDF with standard fonts that are not embedded within the outputted file.
		Verify that the desired font is indeed being used by putting in a second font that is very different.

		Before I was a screenwriter, I worked in graphic design, with a font collection that was the envy of my dorm floor.
		In programs that allow it, a technically-savvy wordsmith could use regular expressions to do all of this in one step, matching the period only in cases where it is followed by exactly one space.
		I scoured the net for new options, and settled on Courier Ragged, which I used for a year or two.

	Mt. Molelog :: Courier, Scourge (Site not responding. Last check: )
		I have a variety of perfectly acceptable monospaced fonts (JMK's neep being my favorite -- I'd love to have that on OS X), and I've configured my browsers to use them rather than Courier for monospaced text, and that helps some.
		This is Lucida Typewriter, which I believe is a standard system font on Windows and thus nearly as ubiquitous as Courier.
		That does mean the letter forms aren't as close to Courier's as, say, Luxi's, but I'm more than willing to live with that for a face that's easy to read and never ever confuses me.

	LaserWriter Pro: Darker Courier Font
		Previously there was a "darker" version of the Courier font available that could be downloaded to the LaserWriter Pro 600 or LaserWriter Pro 630 printers using the Apple Printer Utility.
		Once downloaded, the printer uses that font in printer RAM instead of the lighter version of the font in ROM.
		The font remains resident in printer memory until the printer is power cycled (powered off, then back on).

		Courier New versus Courier Final Draft isn’t going to change anything in terms of the schedule or budget, even if for some God unknown reason you mixed them in the script.

	Font guide for webmasters
		Until font downloading technology is perfected, Web designers must normally restrict themselves to fonts that are available on most users’ computer systems.
		The Mac version of Courier (top left, shown at 18 points) is scalable; the Windows version (bottom left, 15 points) is not.
		Therefore the scalable "Courier New" is preferred, as it is usually available on both Mac and Windows.

	Embedding fonts (Windows)
		The point is that if the actual font files are not available to the operating system, the driver or Distiller will have nothing to embed.
		If the driver thinks a font is resident, it figures it doesn't need to mess with it.
		If a font is not embedded in the PostScript data and Distiller is instructed to embed them, then Distiller has to know where the font is located.
