One assumes PuTTY uses Courier as the default font because it was the default monospace font on Windows at the time of release (1999). But Consolas has been the replacement default since Vista (2006).
It is a reasonable change to make. Do the rest of their native Win32 UI controls still use MS Sans Serif (Windows 98) or Tahoma (XP) instead of Segoe UI (Vista)?
What else is there to do? We live in an era where there's nothing left to talk about except gpu enabled terminal emulators and how much capitalism sucks
