--- Comment #2 from Heiko Tietze <heiko.tietze at documentfoundation.org> ---
I agree that this name is a bit misleading. No only from the native speaker PoV
but also since we do not provide code highlighting which would be required for
source code (see also bug 94954; haven't found quickly the other tickets where
this request was resolved WF).

But we provide a number of CS as better alternative to direct formatting (and
introduced the "Formatting (Styles)" toolbar for this purpose), see also bug
90068. So having Monospace as an option makes sense. However, when it comes to
naming we label the CS in respect to the use case. Like Emphasis (italic) or
Strong Emphasis (bold). Finding some good use case would be nice (maybe Source
Code). Stuart, any idea?

We do have many CS that look like not needed such as Teletype. But I'm afraid
removing is not so easy. Same is true for the name, by the way and "Source
Text" is used at filter/source/docbook/docbooktosoffheadings.xsl and "Teletype"
in extras/source/templates/styles/Simple/styles.xml. Maybe it's possible to
clean-up the auxiliary files too (the Teletype thing is the "Simple" template).
Mike, what do you think?
