Fonts & Character Sets ⇒ Courier font looks weird in Latex

[MetaBrain]

Hi, I'm trying to make a macro to post OCL Invariants (http://www.pst.informatik.uni-muenchen. ... l:2001.pdf @ page 2), but my Courier fonts looks rather different (more squashed in my .tex) from the paper. Any clue to why is that?

Code: Select all

\usepackage{courier} % tt
\newcommand{\subscript}[1]{\ensuremath{_{\textrm{#1}}}}

\newcommand{\helvetica}[1]{\fontfamily{phv}\selectfont{\small{{#1}}}}

\newcommand{\OCL}[2]{
\texttt{\normalsize{
\begin{tabbing}
context {#1}\\
	\hspace{14pt} inv {\bf{\textit{Inv'}}}\subscript{\helvetica{{#1}}}{\bf{:}}\\     
		\hspace{28pt} {#2}\\
\end{tabbing}
}}
}

(Also as a side note, my subscript looks rather "artificial". Dunno how to fix it.)

Thanks in advance
Cheers,
Daniel

Seriously, and this is only meant as a friendly advice, please read the section 2.2 Building an example.

Just another remark beside the note of enrico. The linked document uses system fonts because the Courier font is not embedded. Therefore the appearance can differ from that of the courier font package. In my eyes this font simply looks ugly. So I'd prefer inconsolata or luximono.

I'm using inconsolata now and it looks pretty

Thanks for the help, I'll try make cleaner posts from now on
