In NS 4.76 (Linux) I need to set "overwrite document-specified fonts" to
get it in fixed width. Usually that means that the specified font is not 
available on my computer/system and the replacement is then more or less

using no special font or at least a well distributet one (e.g. Courier) 
could help.

By the way: I don't think you are right about "Almost nobody minds use of 
their art for almost any purpose...". I certainly do mind if it's a 
commercial thing. You might add "non commercial" somewhere.
