Bug Description
The new circular design of the print test page by Emily Maher is beautiful, but in the implementation it has data output set in Courier (New?).
I always had problems with Courier. While it's the standard monospaced typeface, it's too thin to be read with ease. I found our own Ubuntu Mono more suitable, and it will be nice if it gets used instead of the generic Courier. Ubuntu Mono is a delight in the eyes.
It should be considered the smaller x-height of Ubuntu Mono compared with Courier, and increase a bit the font size in the output so the text does not print too small.

Thanks for reporting this bug.
Using the Ubuntu Monospace font has been on my radar for a while, but I haven't gotten around to implementing it yet. Embedding fonts with poppler isn't trivial, so I used Courier (one of the PDF built-in fonts) in the meantime.
