I'd be surprised to find any browser on any normalish system that did
not have a monospace font available.  Both monospace and fantasy, in
addition to the above, should work, with monospace giving at least
monospacing; but fantasy may not give anything fantastic.

It's a good idea to read the newsgroup c.l.j and its FAQ.  See below.
