Courier New on Ubuntu Linux does not distinguish { and ( clearly

Created by: nouyang-curoverse

font in code blocks on http://getbootstrap.com/ does not distinguish { and ( clearly, can cause anguish for newcomers to javascript. Please remove the Courier New font fallback option. Just monospace works well.

In Detail

I was following the the example at http://getbootstrap.com/javascript/#carousel, and my brain removed the "extra parenthesis" I think, similar to how you don't notice I doubled "the" in this sentence unless I point it out.

This is a screenshot of the bootstrap website "code" block font currently on my computer: js-bootstrap-font

Please remove the courier new font fallback option. Just monospace works well.

 code, kbd, pre, samp {
   font-family: monospace;
 }

Results in the much-better
