Modified it to have a font on my Mozilla and it works, of course.

I can change this in the source code and change it. Problem is, it will change

OK. I have been to google, sourgefort ?, a bunch of pages, mozilla, and so on.
One would think it would be an easy task to find something as old as Courier
New, get it and install it. Did not have any luck finding it.

Do you know of a source and how to for Linux (ton of stuff out their for
windows and Courier New)?

Once again, thank you.
