--- Comment #4 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote at utsa.edu> ---
As near as I can figure we have three identical Character Styles

Source Text
Teletype
User Entry

Are those used in any delivered templates? Yes.

Wading back through bug 90068 point was made that something included as a style
should convey a specific meaning.  In that context all three of the duplicates
provide an obvious meaning/intended use.

But are all three needed (i.e. common enough usage) to merit inclusion on our
list of predefined character styles? And continued presence in delivered
template documents? 

Really, how relevant is Teletype in today's vernacular, not very.  But then
"User  Entry" for any fielded user input, or "Source Text" for any
representation of source code rendered to document canvas (primarily for its
monospacing) are both relevant usages.

Dump "Teletype", and rename "Source Text" to "Source Code" style name that
conveys the idea.

The alternative of dropping them all and replacing with "Monospace" also works
for a default, but we loose some richness and symbology. Why should we think to
choose monospace to render source code to screen or document page?

But have to consider to what extent they're in our default templates and the
impact a removal would have on existing documents.
