Some "bugs" really are >features right! the variable width font cmvtt10 is also pretty good. btw, it is no problem to combine serif/sans/mono typescripts, but beware of relative scaling; this is why the scale factor is sometimes set in a typeface definition >Two things I often need are a (fake) caps font and (now) cmtt (e.g., >instead of Courier).
