Courier New is a horrible font on Linux.

Unbolded Courier New is an ugly font everywhere its stem weight isn't at
least 2px (>36px). http://fm.no-ip.com/Auth/Font/fontm-cour.html#pixel

Thanks for the confirmation :D

I'm answering my own question here. Through a simple fc-query query, I figure out Courier New is the first font in the list that has full Vietnamese coverage and is, therefore, preferred.

I suggest we remove Courier New from 60-latin.conf since ergonomics-wise, such a thinly rendered font should never be considered as a default. Liberation Mono, as its metric-compatible alternative with similar language coverage should be chosen instead.
