Courier 10 Pitch font (SOLVED)

Is there a package either from the repositories or from aur that ships the font 'Courier 10 Pitch' ?

I had no luck looking for it. Even in ubuntu (that ships this font by default) they are not found by this name in /usr/share/fonts, nor through apitutde or apt-file (pkgfile similar). Someone told me that (in ubuntu) they come in the package xfonts-scalable. This is a known font (I think). I believe they must be 'hidden' in a package somewhere in our beloved Archlinux as well.

Re: Courier 10 Pitch font (SOLVED)

After installing tons of font packages, the package that ships the font Courier 10 Pitch is xorg-fonts-type1.

Strange is that this font does not show up (at least no by that name) searching with any tool I could think of. Even now that they are installed. Doesn't show with:

pacman -Ss 'Courier'
pacman -Ql xorg-fonts-type1
pkgfile --search 'Courier'
pkgfile --list xorg-fonts-type1

Anyway, I'm glad I could finally find it...

Since this font is a secret in Ubuntu/Archlinux, dont forget:
xorg-fonts-type1 == Courier 10 Pitch <-- Archlinux.
xfonts-scalable == Courier 10 Pitch <-- Ubuntu.

Acutally, now doing:

grep --recursive 'Courier 10 Pitch' /usr/share/fonts/

does show what files we are talking about...
