there is a Mac screen font called "VT-100". Both of these look great
on-screen at 10pt but neither seems to be available in PostScript format.
Courier/New Courier is frequently used for this purpose, but is a poor
representation.

Courier may not look like the sans serif screen font, but to the reader it
seems to represent the screen text very well at about 7 or 8 point and with a
box drawn around it.  I think that readers of text want a *representation* of
a screen, with mock data so they can compare it generally with what they see
on their screens.
