Regarding disambiguity, Courier is one of the best fonts; likewise Times Roman. The only problem with Times Roman with respect to coding is that it is not fixed-width. Sans-serif is not a desirable attribute, except for certain applications such as newspaper headlines. Studies have shown that serif fonts are more readable and less fatiguing, because the serifs of a letter or numeral convey much information. But Americans crave novelty, so there always is a market for the "different" when it is claimed to be "new" and "improved". RLH
