Hello Netpeople,

i am looking for a downloadable fixed-pitch PS font with a char width
of 0.5em (14.4 cpi). It should have the Standard PS Character Encoding
or at least have different back and single quotes.  The char width of
Adobe's Courier font is 0.6em (12 cpi). I need a smaller font to type-
set program listings in books and papers.

I already know LetterGothic which has 0.5em chars, but i need a font
with serifes (sp?) like Courier, PrestigeElite or something like the
Computer Modern Typewriter Type (cmtt) from TeX.  I also heard about
a fixed-pitch font named Amrican Typewriter, but i couldn't get any
information about this font (Adobe has an ITC American Typewriter
font, but this is not a fixed-pitch font as i understand).

The support people at Linotype Germany don't know any small fonts.
They even can't say you the (fixed) char width of PrestigeElite.
I bought PrestigeElite and discovered that it has the same width
as Courier does (somebody out there need a PrestigeElite font? :-)

I appreciate any hints to commercial or non-commercial offers. It
is very urgent, so please respond by mail.  Thanks for your help.

regards, Stefan
