Yes, that's the usual cause for blocky fonts.

How's that relevant for tex-verbatim or Info-quoted?

For tex-verbatim, it shouldn't just be monospaced, but should look
somewhat like TeX's verbatim font (i.e. old typewriter style, i.e. courier).
For Info-quoted, it's not indispensable that it looks like courier, but
it should look different from the default font (by default). IIUC the
default font nowadays is a monospaced sans-serif font, so I chose
a monospaced font with serif.

I think we should define a `fixed-width-with-serif' face and inherit
from that, to make the intention clear.
