What do you mean, the "only gotcha"?

First of all, how can there possibly be spacing differences between
two versions of the same MONOSPACED font?  That's absurd.

Second of all, if Adobe has changed the widths, they have committed
an arch sin, and should have called the font by a totally different
name.

Luckily, Adobe knows that, and I am quite confident that the widths of
Courier have not changed, so I'm looking forward to the retraction
statement :-)

I have a feeling the slab serifs are a slight improvement for poor
Courier, although it remains aesthetically displeasing no matter what
kind of serifs it has.
