Welcom Kumar,
I don't do graphics in email, sorry.
What you want are xfonts. Look through the packages (apt-cache,
aptitude, whatever, or the debian.org web site) for xfont and you'll see
a slew of them. For fixed-width I use either monospace or terminus but
there are others. There's also gsfonts-x11 that allows X to use the
fonts supplied with gs (ghostscript, a postscript renderer).
Doug.
