bug#24597: 25.1; Fonts used by default in Info


From: Drew Adams
Subject: bug#24597: 25.1; Fonts used by default in Info

The fonts used (on MS Windows, at least) by default, for Info, are
these:

* For text in general:

  uniscribe:-outline-Courier
  New-normal-normal-normal-mono-17-*-*-*-c-*-iso8859-1 (#x52)

* For text enclosed in ‘...’:

   gdi:-outline-Courier-normal-normal-normal-mono-17-*-*-*-c-*-iso8859-1
   (#x65)

The latter comes from the default value of face `Info-quoted', which
specifies only the family (as courier).

Why use, by default, two **slightly** different looking fonts?  They are
not different enough to make ‘...’ very noticeable.  Nor are they the
same.  What's the point of this choice?
