I am writing a technical documentation in LaTeX which will also include code listings and in-text keywords set in Monospace. After reading this post i chose a combination of CharterBT for text and Computer Modern Sans Serif Bold for headings.

Charter:


Computer Modern Sans Bold:


However I do not like the default monospaced font of LaTeX, mainly because it looks way to fancy or old to me.

Which monospaced font is complementary to the fonts I am using?

Note that I can not use any font that is not available in my LaTex distribution.

When you say "the default monospaced font" are you referring to the monospace counterpart to Computer Modern?



If so, I think you're responding to the Prestige Elite-style serif treatment, which is so retro it's almost fashionable these days ;)

The complicating factor is that you've chosen a proportional sans face that is very similar in style to sanserif monospace faces. You may have to use a variation in size, color, or weight to help differentiate the two.

I would experiment with these faces from your available set, in order of my guess at compatibility.

Bera Mono



Droid Sans Mono



DejaVu Sans Mono
