I really do not want to be in the position to judge a patch like
this, whose evaluation is solely based on "prettiness" factor.

But if I really have to, I would say this makes things uglier
and less readable.  Maybe asking for monospace is less yucky but
naming Courier explicitly?

BTW what tool do you use to generate and send your patches?  I
remember another patch from you recently did not apply and it
turned out the problem was that the last hunk had line numbers
wrong.  This patch has exactly the same problem and I am
wondering why.

I count 10 lines of original and 15 lines of new material in
this hunk but the hunk header claims to have 11 lines of
original text.

Sometimes people would put ASCII art in their commit messages,
things like a simple table, compiler output, log output, etc,
and I wanted to _preserve_ the intent of such output.  This is why
I changed it to Courier. (sorry for the misspelling of Courier)

I use git.  Those patches are against a one-off branch, which I created
for the purpose of sending you the patches.

The original patches are against my "git-lt" branch, which has
the File::MMagic changes in it -- it is my working branch.
So I generated a patch off of "git-lt", applied it to "one-off-gitweb",
which is identical to the git "master" branch, and sent the patches.

monospace should do this too, see[1].  I think it should be added as
fallback[2] at least but I see no reason not to use font-family:
monospace.
