\maketitle
Two serifed typewriter fonts are in common use in \LaTeX---{\tt courier} and (extensions of) {\tt cmtt}. (Many now prefer the sans serif monowidth fonts BeraSansMono or Inconsolata, though their appearance is less reminiscent of typewritten output.) The recently released STIX fonts have a typewriter alphabet that seems to be a slight variant of {\tt cmtt}, with height to match Times and thinner vertical stems, in only medium series. In my opinion, {\tt cmtt} and its enhancements are a much better choice than {\tt courier} in almost every circumstance, as the latter is so light and so wide that it looks poor on screen and causes endless problems with overfull boxes. (The ratio of their glyph widths is $723/525\approx1.38$.) The GUST extension of Computer Modern contains a very substantial enhancement of {\tt cmtt} called {\tt lmtt} (Latin Modern Typewriter). This small package, loaded with

provides access to all its features, no matter what other text fonts you might be using. It should be placed after all your other text font loading packages that might contain instructions to change \verb|\ttdefault|, and before loading math packages so that the math packages can make a suitable definition of \verb|\mathtt|. With no options specified, as above, you'll get full functionality as a monospaced typewriter font family, with typewriter text rendered using {\tt lmtt}, and with italic and bold versions, plus small caps in regular (medium) weight only.

%Note that the weight options depend on the {\tt mweights} package which was introduced in July $2013$.
The package defines two macros, \verb|\proptt| and \verb|\monott| that allow you to use proportional typewriter mode or monospace typewriter mode whether or not you selected the {\tt proportional} option. This document uses {\tt monospace} mode, but I can write \verb|\proptt{proportional spacing}| and get \proptt{proportional spacing}, or \verb|\textit{\proptt{proportionally spaced slanted}}| to get \textit{\proptt{proportionally spaced slanted}}. The macro \verb|\lctt| prints its argument in light-condensed weight, monospaced mode, and uses a slanted font if italic shape is in force. E.g., \verb|\lctt{light condensed}| produces \lctt{light condensed}, and \verb|\textit{\lctt{light condensed italic}}| produces \textit{\lctt{light condensed italic}}.
