By default groff comes with 6 proportional fonts (Avant Garde, Bookman,
Helvetica, New Century Schoolbook, Palatino, Times New Roman), but only 1
monospaced font: Courier. I like Courier but it would be nice to have another
option. Especially for typesetting code listings, a monospaced font with a
slashed or dotted zero, along with a clearer difference between 1 and l, would
come in handy.
I know there is a mechanism for users to manually add such a font to groff
themselves, but when sharing code it seems like a needless burden to put on
other people.
Possible choices would be DejaVu Sans Mono, Liberation Mono, or Adobe Source
Code Pro, though there are many others. Only the Regular style would be truly
needed; Bold and Italic would be a nice bonus but not really necessary.
Thanks.
