DejaVu fonts are too wide for my taste, but I understand what you
mean. What's the ”\A” for?

Well, my document is mainly a mix of two fonts: Arial and Courier New.
Arial for explaining text and Courier New for code and commands. I
have replaced Arial by FreeSans and Courier New by FreeMono, but there
are still fragments of text with at least the Arial font, so I can't
select all and select FreeSans for everything, because that means that
I have a lot of work to do to manually change many parts of the text
to FreeMono.
