Yep.

$ fc-list :spacing=mono
includes, for example,
  /usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1/c0582bt_.pfb: Courier 10 Pitch:style=Italic
  /usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1/c0583bt_.pfb: Courier 10 Pitch:style=Bold

yes:

[    26.650] (**) FontPath set to:
        /usr/share/fonts/X11/misc,
        /usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi/:unscaled,
        /usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi/:unscaled,
        /usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1,
        /usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi,
        /usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi,
        built-ins,
        /usr/share/fonts/X11/misc,
        /usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi/:unscaled,
        /usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi/:unscaled,
        /usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1,
        /usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi,
        /usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi,
        built-ins

I don't know why the list appears twice, but that shouldn't do any harm.

I wanted to see if any of them looked good in a particular xterm ncurses
application. It's very hard to find a really good monospaced font in which all
the characters look nice. I have always rather liked cmtt (in other
applications), and wanted to try something like that.
