[Visual] Introducing Courier

I never thought that Courier, the font, is good for anything other than to please your eyes with program listings. I was wrong! In this blog it's an organic element of design. I could hardly believe my eyes...

Terrible news is that Trebuchet started its triumphal march across the Blogostan. Apparently WordPress made it a default font in one of its templates. It's probably a good font, but I can't stand it. The lowercase g is particularly loathsome.

I'm not fond of the font but I do like the word. I like that I know how to pronounce it correctly and I like that it is a font named after something like a catapult. (I know... it's not a catapult but when people see it they think it is.)
