I think/thought so.

There's also
(defface Info-quoted
'((t :family "courier"))
"Face used for quoted elements.")

Maybe we should improve face-font-family-alternatives so as to
automatically find a better courier-like font?
Maybe we also should define a standard/core face for this, which is then
inherited by both tex-verbatim and Info-quoted.
