I just checked pydoctheme.css and Courier New is not specified
there. It only specifies monospace.
That's a default monospace font set in your browser. I see the code
rendered in the font I selected in my browser preferences as
Fixed-width font: Menlo 14pt. It's not thin at all -- that's why I
selected it. :-)
It seems you may want to change that setting in your browser. Firefox
uses Courier New as a default setting.
I found the FireFox monospace setting under
Tools / Options / Content / Default font: / Advanced
and switched to Deja Vu mono, that being the first obviously monospace
font I saw. (Lucida Console is similar.) It has the same 2-pixel lines
as Ariel, and the page now looks okay, although when black (as for
False, True),the lack of serifs reduces the contrast with Arial. I am
guessing that the page now looks somewhat more like it did for Georg
when he worked on it.
Windows Help uses Internet Explorer settings.
Options / Internet Options / General / Appearance / Fonts
However, this only allows choice of base font for pages without a
specified text font, so I do know know what will happen when new format
is applied to the .chm files.
