I'm not sure how Firefox is able to do it unless at the smaller sizes it's substituting Courier New or whatever its prefs are set to for monospace. What are SeaMonkey, Opera & Safari doing? > Anyone know why IE decides to ignore these values for Courier below a > certain size?

Forget Courier and Courier New and use Lucida Console and/or Andale Mono instead. Courier New is pathetically ugly except at very large sizes, and Courier just isn't appropriate due to the limited available sizes. Take a look at Consolas, Liberation Mono & DejaVu Mono too. http://fm.no-ip.com/auth/Font/fonts-face-samplesM.html -- "Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it."
