One of my users finds the Courier font too light in relation to Courier-Bold.

After rummaging through the PostScript Reference Manual I concluded that
the way to fix this would be to create a modified Courier font by copying
Courier, changing the copy to a stroked font and adjusting the stroke weight
to taste.  So far my efforts to do this have failed miserably.

Does anyone have the ps code for creating a stroked Courier font?
Or, if there is a better way to solve this problem, please let me know.

Thanks.
