hmm... If I understand you, you want a fixed-pitch font that will
print out at 14.4 cpi at a pointsize of 12. So why not just do the
following:
/MyNewCourier /Courier findfont [8.333 0 0 12 0 0] makefont def
and then do
MyNewCourier setfont
whenever you want to use the font?
The little bugger will be kinda narrow-looking, tho'....
