Yes, mom does this. The macro for it is
.QUOTE
line for line text of verbatim text
.QUOTE OFF
By default, mom sets the text in QUOTE in italic, or, if you're
using PRINTSTYLE TYPEWRITE, underlined. To get what you want (i.e.
a roman, non-proportional font), do
.QUOTE_FAMILY C \" Assuming you want courier
.QUOTE_FONT R \" Assuming you want roman
before the first invocation of QUOTE.
See the document section "5.4.8 Quotes" for further explanation.
