Thank you.

    As far as I've been able to tell, Courier New is more widely 
available than the others. Unfortunately, on Mac -- mine at least -- as 
compared with Courier, Courier New is annoyingly light, as in the 
opposite of bold; it looks pale when you put it beside text in other 
fonts. I ended up using an if-block to choose: 
 
   if "Courier" is among the lines of the fontNames then 
   put "Courier" into tNewMonoFont 
   else 
   put "Courier New" into tNewMonoFont 
   end if 
   . . . 
   set the textFont of someStack to tNewMonoFont 
   . . .
