I agree with the previous posts. I don't think the specific fonts used are Perlmonks' concern. They are the concern of the user of a particular browser on a particular system. Furthermore, even if the folks who decide these things decided to choose a font, which font would they use? How would they know all the Monastery's users have that font? How would they know user A's FooBar font and user B's FooBar font are the same? There's no way to do this reliably, because of the very nature of the Web.

What I would like to see, though, is a removal of the <font size="-1"> wrapped around <code> tags. I think that's stepping on the user's concerns just as much as your suggestion is.
