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.
