I didn't even realize we'd added it to libgnome already, and
I'm the one who requested it.  Making Yelp default to it will
be easy.  Devhelp and Evolution should also be changed to use
it.  And Evolution should change its 'Terminal Font' string.
Have you ever used a terminal inside Evolution?  I haven't.

But, what was committed to control-center changed the string
'Terminal font' to 'Monospace font'.  All well and good that
we got rid of that horrible 'Terminal font' thing, but it
should probably be 'Fixed width font'.  Yes, I did initially
suggest 'Monospace font', and I cooked the initial patch that
used that term.  But I changed my mind, because that's the
sort of indecisive person I think I might possibly be.

Epiphany and Yelp both already say 'Fixed width', so let's
get some consistency here.  Christian?
