Verify if all the characters used, including spaces, have the same
width. A drawing made with one of these fonts places all the
characters in a regular grid. The courier font is identical to
what comes out of a simple typewriter.

Oops.. I forgot to upload the images. I made a test at full power.
The system works reasonably well, producing corona at the antenna
and arcs to grounded objects. It's less powerful than the directly
coupled version, but the reasons for this are clear. The energy
transfer takes twice more time and cycles, and much more energy is 
lost in the way.

Corona at the antenna (I would not call this streamers):

The schematic is:

A CTTC - Capacitive Transformer Tesla Coil. Is this something new?
