Others have given you useful answers, but in terms of process, you should be trying something like this: ~$ apt-cache search courier | grep font [The apt / cli gurus can doubtless come up with better versions.] Celejar

AFAICS, the Courier fonts in > TeXlive are the Adobe and URW variants. https://www.ctan.org/pkg/courier The font is in Adobe's Postscript Type 1 format, but IBM is listed as copyright holder and maintainer. Wikipedia also seems to agree with IBM having released a Type 1 Courier: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Courier_%28typeface%29#IBM_Courier

What I meant was, that this is the font that is a) Actually named plain 'Courier' b) The texlive Courier fonts are the digitalised version released by IBM themselves under some free font license > [...] and Courier New is not less authentic > than the others. Well as 'Courier' as used by texlive was released by IBM, who commissioned the original Courier font, you could make an argument that 'Courier' is somehow more authentic than the others ;) . Not that this matters much as long as you get a font that is to liking in appearance and usage rights. --- Nito

The original Courier font was physical. All the files we have nowadays are variants / reimplementation, and Courier New is not less authentic than the others.

My copy of the Courier font was installed by 'texlive-fonts-recommended'. If you want 'Courier 10pitch' instead of the original Courier, you need the package 'xfonts-scalable'. The ttf-mscorefonts package from contrib mentioned before, does *not* seem to contain the original Courier font, only Microsoft's variant 'Courier New'. In case you *did* mean MS's 'Courier New' instead of 'Courier': If you need to view documents with Microsoft's Courier New , Arial or Times New Roman and you don't care about the fonts specifically, only that formatting is right, you can replace them with free metric-compatible fonts: Either (Arimo, Cousine and Tinos) from fonts-croscore or the Liberation font family from fonts-liberation. These packages are in main. Most programs seem to pick them up as replacements automatically, if installed. In case this doesn't work you can alias them in your fontconfig configuration. --- Nito

Gnome courier font is invisible except at 14pt
I'm running gnome on debian sarge, as provided by apt-get and friends. My gnome Courier font appears to render as invisible text at every pointsize apart from 14. The text can be copied and pasted, but it cannot be viewed. This is particularly annoying for me because a lot of websites use courier as their preferred monospace font. If I plug in courier as the font family in xfontsel, it offers 292 matching names, but suggests that there are only two relevant foundries: Adobe and Bitstream. I can't see any obvious anomalies there. I suspect that this Courier font is actually from my Windows partition (I also have Courier New and Courier 10 Pitch, and both of these render correctly), so I'd be happy to delete this Courier font provided I could replace it (maybe with an alias from Courier New). However, I'm not sure I know how to approach this. Any suggestions anyone, please? Thanks, Chris -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
