	Does anybody know of any monospaced fonts, preferably sans-serif,
other than Courier that are available for the LaserWriter (either in ROM,
or in dowloadable PostScript form)?  We often want to set up figures that
require the columns to line up, but many people around here consider
Courier to be ugly.  Troff's constant-space mode is even worse.  Something
like the IBM Selectric "Orator" is what we're looking for.

	It seems that all the effort in font design is going into
proportionaly spaced fonts.  I guess that's where the money is.
