But the question is, where did the old fixed font go? Can it be
included in the distribution? Or is there some other place to
find it? I also liked it better.

I think he was referring to the .tex source files. They do look funny
with unsymmetrical quotes.
While we are talking about fonts, does anyone know why the italic

the default italic font that shows up in emacs, for example.) It
has very blotchy vertical lines.
