Another trick is to increase the front size of periods so they take up slightly more space. There's a video on youtube showing how this works, but I can't find it right now.
For fixed-width fonts, of which Courier New is a part, nothing beats
Bitstream Vera Sans Mono (free) or
Consolas (part of Microsoft, but I think it's free also). The Bitstream Vera fonts were really built as a programmers font, so l, i, 1, I, j, etc, all look noticeably different, and Consolas was built specifically for use with ClearType in Windows XP and Vista, to go along with LCDs (it uses sub-pixel hinting for anti-aliasing).
