OK, in that case, this face is not like the default one on my system.
Its only attribute that is not "unspecified" is the "font family",
which is "Monospace".  I think this is what you wanted.

The Info-quoted face has its font family set to "courier", but at
least here it uses exactly the same font as fixed-pitch.

So I'm unsure how using fixed-pitch or inheriting from it would solve
the problem.  It is slightly cleaner, in that there's a single parent
face, but I guess Paul will still be unhappy with the results.

So on some systems the fixed-pitch face will be nicer than the current
Info-quoted, on others it will be the same, and perhaps on still
others it will be uglier.

You mean, font-lock-string-face?
