I find that courier 12 is too big and courier 10 too small to
mimic standard "elite" typewritten text.  Thus I like to use 11-pt, with
vertical spacing fixed at 12 point (six lines/inch).  However
on the screen 11 pt courier is hard to read.  My workaround is to
write the document in 12 point, then select the whole thing and
change the size and line spacing to 11 on 12, and then clean
up any oddness that the transition from 12 to 11 point may
have created.

Probably, given the number of pixels/inch on the standard SE,
which I use, there's just no way to get a reasonable-appearing and
legible 11 pt courier on the screen.  But if there is, I'd appreciate
pointers.  Thanks.
