I haven't used a Linux GUI in about 5 years, so I don't know if there is a 
specific difference between "Monospace" and "monospace" and whether or not this 
looks better than Andale Mono.  I assumed that "Monospace" was a specific font 
name and "monospace" was a family, and given the patch, I assumed that this 
looked better to the user.  I have no way to validate if this is a correct 
assumption.  Any recommendation for a good looking fixed width font on Linux 
that is fairly universal is welcome.
