Thank you so much, Kirky. I've never heard of it so would never have got it, but at least I can sleep now.

I missed this first time round. Courier is rarely used nowadays. It's a non-proportional font - all the letters are the same width - like a typewriter. With laser printers etc. this is no longer necessary, so more attractive fonts are almost always used.
