It's not that the font is ugly.  It's that
* (in the epub) the source code appears in a box
* (in the html/epub) it's impossible to tell the difference between two
different commands and a single command that was too long and word wrapped
to fit in the box
* (in the html/epub) I can't have non-monospace comments between/attached
to/within the code without drawing four or five separate boxes around my code
* (in the org file) For whatever reason, monospace code appears as a
light-gray font, which is hard to read against a white background.  I'm
sure that can be changed, but I haven't had time to figure it out yet.

I think you are making the incorrect assumption that the machine on
which I maintain my Org files is the same machine that I wish to execute
commands on.

If my commnds were all 8 characters long or less, it would be fine.
Some of my commands look like this:

adduser username -d /data/chroot/home/username -s /usr/bin/rssh -m -k /dev/null -g rssh

useradd -U -G wheel -p '$6$wcMRrkcdGeNHLT5c$0s4qezb00ISmGZSsILOyV/WJn3RnuZPkSEknwoSZ22HvbgkBTe4TQwCz/mpG.3zby.1Jwnmtsq1B.uCbyg5l./' username

pssh -x '-q -t -t' -I -i --hosts hosts_linux_rhel6 'sudo -S wget puppet/puppet/pub/system_patch.pl -O /usr/local/bin/system_patch.pl' < hostnamefile

While I admit that the "useradd" command is an extreme example,
this becomes horribly ambiguous:

adduser username -d /data/chroot/home/username -s 
/usr/bin/rssh -m -k /dev/null -g rssh
pssh -x '-q -t -t' -I -i --hosts hosts_linux_rhel6
'sudo -S wget puppet/puppet/pub/system_patch.pl -O
/usr/local/bin/system_patch.pl' < hostnamefile
