Actually I see Emacs has a font called fixed-width that does exactly that.
So my simple suggestion for fixing this issue:

  Info-quoted and tex-verbatim face should inherit from fixed-width by default.

(The fact that that specification of fixed-width doesn't appear to work
on either Debian or Red Hat seems a separate issue! Ie, it gives a face
that looks exactly like the default face. "Sans Mono" works for me.
Still, I don't recally anyone ever complaining about the fixed-width face.)
