Courier has a bad legibility/screenestate ratio. I use 10x20, a fixed
width _pixel_ font (meaning that some human designed this pixel for
pixel, rather than relying on some rasterizer to come up with some
approximation to an outline, a process that starts working somewhat
tolerably at resolutions of 200dpi and higher).
