- I had kept it as a sans-serif because the tags on the home page were : 

tags: media, font, OFL, graphic, otf, image, png, archive, zip, **sans_serif**,
courier, rugular, bold

Anyway, you're a better judge at that.

Wouldn't notcourier-sans sound as if its a sans and not mono? I think the name
the upstream's given is "notcouriersans". Anyway, I'm unable to contact them to
clarify.

ah, great .. rebuilding..
