Isn't it possible to let TeX render all text output via TEX.mp? I know
it's slow, but that way one could use a teletype font that fits the text
font such as Computer or Latin Modern or even the txfonts without
problems. Anyway, Bera Mono (ul9r8r) and Luxi Mono (fvmr8r) both look
good here using the infont operator.
