Do any of these fonts look like a monospaced Helvetica? The FileNet fonts
look just like Helvetica, but they are monospaced. We would love to find
a font that represents our screen more accurately. Right now we just use
Helvetica, so spacing is never accurate. But this seems preferable to
using any of the other monospaced fonts that don't look like the same
typeface. We would not want to use an ImageWriter font.

Thanks for any leads.
