The website's CSS uses the following fonts for code blocks: > "Inconsolata", "Source Code Pro", "Consolas", "Monaco", "Courier", monospace So either it is using one of those fonts (Courier and Nimbus Mono L are similar I guess), the site is serving you special CSS that I'm not getting (and I've tested it on Linux and Windows), or Firefox has done some weird font aliasing and one of the above is being treated as Nimbus Mono L.

I've checked and it's picking up the "Courier" from the CSS.

(I tried removing Courier and it displayed the text in something nice-looking which Firefox reports is DejaVu Sans Mono)
