Ahh! It burns! It burns! The goggles, they do nothing (fortunately,
firebug does)! That font is not intended for large blocks of text! We
are passed the days of typewriters, so please use a serif font and
avoid the use of monospaced fonts anywhere other than code excerpts!
I'm sure Pascal is more qualified than I am to recommend specific
fonts.

"Monospaced fonts are found to be far less readable for long bodies of
text, making them ill-suited for books or magazine articles."

On the day *I* go to work for Microsoft, faint oinking sounds will be
heard from far overhead, the moon will not merely turn blue but
develop polkadots, and hell will freeze over so solid the brimstone
will go superconductive.
