github.com has made some questionable design decisions for their site. The font is rather unreadable, and the pages are too wide, and the width does not adapt to the browser window. This style fixes these shortcomings.

Does what it does.
Just change the font
On some GitHub pages text overflows in pre boxes make printing a nightmare. This fixes that.

This changes the default font for code on Github from Courier to Consolas (11pt). It makes the code section wider to take the full size of your browser for easier reading of long lines. It centers the page header since removing the width limit made it justify left which looked weird.
Also works with gist.github.com, lighthouseapp.com and userstyles.org! Sorry, but default code fonts that GitHub uses, 'Courier' and 'Bitstream Vera Sans Mono' (gist), just don't do it for me. In Windows the default font for gist even shows up without antialiasing (smoothing)! 'Consolas' is a far nicer font and supports antialiasing in Windows, so it's default now :) Check out the before and after screenshots - it's subtle, but for extended reading it's miles better. Make sure you have http://userstyles.org/styles/12373 installed to properly see the differences in the screenshots below!
