[Tex/LaTex] looking for monospaced condensed font

fontstypewriter

I am looking for condensed mono spaced (typewriter) fonts to typeset program listings with pdflatex. The fonts should have the common shapes (up and italic or slanted) and series (normal and bold). Any suggestions?

Best Answer

Latin Modern ha a condensed version of the typewriter font:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{lmodern}
\usepackage{lipsum}

\begin{document}
\ttfamily\lipsum[1]

\fontseries{lc}\selectfont
\lipsum[1]

\end{document}

enter image description here

If you need the text justified, you have to modify the \fontdimenX values

I think using slanted everywhere for monospace italic is OK. Italic typewriter is a distinctly odd concept anyway:-) The substitution in the font shape is as good a way as any to achieve this.

That's a bug in the fd-files (OT1lmtt.fd and T1lmtt.fd): In the "lighttt" section they substitute the lmtt/m/it to lmtt/l/sl instead of lmtt/m/sl. You should report it.

You can get around it with

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage[lighttt]{lmodern}
\ttfamily
\DeclareFontShape{OT1}{lmtt}{m}{it}
     {<->sub*lmtt/m/sl}{}

\begin{document}
Abc {\ttfamily abc  \itshape abc}
\end{document}
