* No, I meant Courier.

* squared-off slab serifs which make the font look very different.
I grabbed a couple of the outline descriptions from the
Courier font out of my LaserWriter II-NTX and they are all
straight lines. Even the curvy characters like `R' only
appear to have curves for the curved parts. The serifs are
square. Linda Gass of Adobe is the person reputed to have
digitised Courier, so perhaps she could comment.
