I have attached two files, a postscript export and a pdflatex export.
The postscript export has the typewriter font only a bit too large
(looks similar in gv, ggv and gsview). And, as I wrote, the pdflatex
export looks fine (like yours) in acrobat, but other viewers have very
different opinions.

And your pdf looks perfect in all my viewers.

Any ideas on what is going on? I am using fc3 with a plain tetex
installation.

Ahh, I think I have found the answer myself, it is a problem in the urw-
fonts rpm package in fc3:

Downgrading the urw-fonts package while writing..

Yeah, downgrading to urw-fonts-2.1-7.noarch.rpm solved the problem!
