I have been searching for a san serif font that is monospaced for
a while too, without success.  Adobe's monospace fonts are either
typewriter looking things (Courior, Prestige Elite, American
Typewriter) or too weird (Orator, Machine).  I'm afraid that Mr.
Nichols' creation, DOS, will be pretty ugly although that is
understandable since he trying to emulate the IBM PC character set.
He is sending me DOS this week so I will be able to give a more
extensive review later this week.

Anyone know of a monospace Helvetica clone out there?
