XeLaTeX: boldfaced keywords in listings

[Manuel Collado]

Using XeTeX (XeLaTeX) from Miktex 2.7 on Windows XP SP3.

The default fonts used by the listings package make bolfaced keywords
hardly distinguishable from normal text. By the way, I had to specify:

\lstset{..., basicstyle={\ttfamily\small}, ...}

in order to have monospaced text.

Could anybody recommend an adequate font for bolfaced/regular monospaced
text? And tell me how to instruct the listing package to use it?

Looking at the .log file I think the relevant info is:

[8]

But, being only an occasional LaTeX user, it is possible that these
warnings are in fact unrelated to my problem.

Thanks in advance.

You don't say exactly what you've done, but the following works fine, if
you have the Luxi Mono font installed on your system (as a regular
font). You could substitute Courier or Courier New

Remember that XeLaTex source files need to be saved as UTF-8.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{xltxtra}
\usepackage{listings}
\setmonofont{Luxi Mono}
\begin{document}
\lstset{language=Pascal, basicstyle={\ttfamily\small}}
\begin{lstlisting}
for i:=maxint to 0 do
begin
{ do nothing }
end;
Write(�Case insensitive �);
WritE(�Pascal keywords.�);
\end{lstlisting}

\end{document}

Yes. Luxi Mono seems to be Ok (after some scaling)

Thanks, a lot.
