    *  No, I meant Courier.

    *  cloth ribbons).  But the version with ATM makes
    *  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.
