OK. That makes sense.

They are quite similar. Interestingly, however, trying
Courier-18:style=Bold
Courier-24
Courier-48:style=Italic
all look exactly identical (and the latter nonetheless shows "Regular" at
the top). When I 'select a character' they all show "width: 6" and
"(font 7,2)"; the Bolds show "left 0" while the Regulars show "left 1".
Could the fonts all be coming from the same source instead of being sized
properly, maybe?

Ah. Definitely not.
