I think/thought so.

> AFAICS, it is the only face definition in Emacs that specifies a :family.

There's also

   (defface Info-quoted
     '((t :family "courier"))
     "Face used for quoted elements.")

Maybe we should improve face-font-family-alternatives so as to
automatically find a better courier-like font?

Maybe we also should define a standard/core face for this, which is then
inherited by both tex-verbatim and Info-quoted.
