That would be too much hassle: I'm co-editing the same document with
another person, and (for various reasons) we do this on at least four
different computers :-(

Yes, basically I'd like a monospaced, narrower and eventually smaller font

something along the line of \renewcommand\ttfont{\mynewfont\small}, but I
haven't found the right syntax yet ... any ideas?
