I don't know one offhand. Perhaps a table api would be better? It could use the line drawing characters in info and actual lines in TeX. Chapter 22 in the TeXbook has some examplee using \hrule and \vrule. Since texinfo.tex already uses \hrule and \vrule that should be easy to support. And it would give better results in ps and pdf than line drawing fonts would. OTOH, if you really want line drawing fonts, using the DejaVu Mono src to generate a type1 font would be trivial. FF has support to narrow the glyphs in a reasonable manner to match each version of cmtt. (cmtt8 is 531/1000, cmtt9 and cmtt10 are 525/1000 and cmtt12 is 514/1000. dejavu mono, to match courier's 600/1000, is 1233/2048.) -JimC -- James Cloos <[email protected]> OpenPGP: 1024D/ED7DAEA6
