TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
I can remember an old expression that says that beauty is only skin deep, but
ugly goes all the way to the bone. I always took it to mean that if we only
look at the cover, we miss the contents, and if the contents are sour, no
matter how slick the cover is, the sour will shine through. So it is with
Courier as a type face.
It is not as sophisticated as others, not as flashy as some, and certainly
not as desired as Times. It is, however, a good, trustworthy font that is
useful and, I believe, never out of place. I do not think that using it as a
guide to the acceptability of a resume is a valid criteria
This has been one man's opinion
