Some observations while playing around with Mac's 'Font Book'
(/Applications/Font Book.app):

I noticed "Courier New -> Regular" looks really pale in that application
too at the smaller font sizes (eg. 14, fltk's default).

Then, when I switch to "Courier -> Regular" at 14 size, it looks
normal/readable.

Answering my own question about "Why not use Courier?", apparently
"Courier" doesn't have an italic option.. only "Courier New" does. So
unless one were to mix fonts to get the italics, I guess Courier isn't an
option as a default for FLTK, because it needs italics and bold italics.

One thing that seems odd is that in Font Book, the vertical line spacing
seems /larger/ for "Courier" than "Courier New", whereas in FLTK it seems
the opposite. Their algorithms for vertical line spacing are different?

Short of disabling antialiasing fonts (is that an API or configure option
on FLTK for the mac?), I guess Fl::set_font(FL_COURIER, "Courier"); might
be my only solution.
