As I've using mslm for a week, I think it is nicer than mstx or msnt
in verbatim code snippets.
Howerver, when mixed used with Times Roman (clone) font in the main text,
I prefer the look of newtxtt font because of it is slightly thicker, and
it has mostly the same degree of serif as Times Roman.
One idea is to use cmtt (or lmtt) for code snippet, and use newtxtt (or
txtt as a fallback on older LaTeX environment). I'll try this direction
and prepare an RFC patch for you to try.
If it looks good for you, we might want to modify font selection for default
targets 2c, 1c and hb. Otherwise, we can expect few feedback if any.
When we do the change, current defaults' behaviors should be provided in
alternative targets for people to compare.
