Maybe I'm asking too much, but wouldn't it be better if the Gentoo board utilizes better monospace fonts like Bitstream Vera Sans Mono or Monospace instead of Courier. Everytime I visit the posts which contain codes, I have to uncheck the option that enables the websites to implement their own fonts because the default monospace font that this board uses hurt my eyes.

Customize your fonts. Here's my snippet from ~/.fonts.conf
Code:
   <!-- Replace Courier with a better-looking font -->
   <match name="family" target="pattern">
      <test name="family" qual="any">
         <string>Courier</string>
      </test>
      <edit name="family" mode="assign">
         <!-- Other choices - Andale Mono, Courier New, Luxi Mono, Bitstream Vera Sans Mono -->
         <string>Bitstream Vera Sans Mono</string>
      </edit>
   </match>

See wiki.

If you want your fonts to look gorgeous, see thread.
