Durh, probably, yes. Silly me.

Gives a face that looks different from the default in "the right way"
for a "typewriter" face. The default face is "DejaVu Sans Mono",
"Sans Mono" selects "Latin Modern Mono". This all sounds like a massive
fluke now that I look at the details.

Anyway, as Stefan suggested, there should be some single face that
Info-quoted and tex-verbatim inherit from. What the defaults of that face
should be are another issue. Inherit from string face?
