Code font in examples hard to read

See original GitHub issue

It looks like this on my Mac (OS X 10.9, Chrome 33): image and I really have to squint to read that.

Courier New is also a really terrible font at that size on the web. May I suggest to kick it out so the monospace fallback gets used sooner? FWIW, I use

'Source Code Pro', 'Anonymous Pro', Consolas, 'Envy Code R', 'Ubuntu Mono', Inconsolata-g, Inconsolata, monospace;

on my homepage so everyone is likely to get their favorite coding font. If that idea doesn’t appeal to you (but just imagine everyone seeing Python in their favorite font 😃), I’d really like to have just monospace which will look fine everywhere.

I’m not asking to replace your stack (mine had the same spirit though 😃).

I just want Courier New gone b/c it’s hard to read. If you replace it with my beloved Source Code Pro I’ll be even happier but Courier New is the reason I opened this ticket. 😃

P.S. The Source fonts are Idan-approved. 😉
