The black on white monospaced font? As a programmer I found it great.

Looks like this for me http://i.imgur.com/XNvYDk7.png

Probably font rendering issue at your end. It looks like this: http://imgur.com/a/9ArvB

However, it uses mac-specific fonts first, the free fonts (dejavu sans mono, bitstream vera sans mono) and then it falls back to Courier New and browser-set monospace font.

Fixed

Out of the curiosity, what was the cause?

Courier New is ugly, but not that ugly. Was it necessary to finetune the cleartype parameters?

Ah, I concede - mine was rendering black.
