I've used --gpfamily=Monospace with u2ps as suggested by its man page,
but many characters (arrows and math symbols) are not available. It
seems that the default is "Bitstream Vera Sans Mono" (in fact, I have
the same problem with this font). There are no such problems with
"DejaVu Sans Mono".

IMHO, the default should use a font that has the most common
characters.
