We could drop 'adobe' part of the font. On my machine there is
no ibm courier font. I have probably fake adobe "scalable" font
(it appears as a scalable font in font list, but AFAICS there
is no correspondingh real scalable font). There are also
'courier 10 pitch' fonts which seem to be true scalable
fonts.
AFAICS Reduce ships a few fonts.
