Typesetting

Why were the monospace updates reverted again? Real-world books use the same-style markup, at least for constants ( http://zdoom.org/w/index.php?title=SetMarineWeapon&curid=993&diff=22937&oldid=22670 ), and italic for function names in paragraph text. —j.eng 19:30, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

“To my eye, seeing all that Courier mixed in was incredibly ugly and distracting.” I was expecting that you may say that. However, the wiki software does not output "Courier" in any of its stylesheets AFAICS, so objectively this is an issue of your user agent. Just because Windows has defaults unpleasing to you (and perhaps others, but let's skip the OS wars), it should not be a blocker for others. Alternatively to setting the browser's default monospace font, you can also configure your wiki account's stylesheets at $wikiurl/User:yourname/monobook.css.

(In case you need a monotype font, I can recommend Latin Modern Mono that is used in most of the scientific .pdfs created by latex software that you may have encountered; http://www.ctan.org/get/fonts/lm/fonts/opentype/public/lm/lmmono12-regular.otf ) —j.eng 00:20, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
