In the Windows device, fonts 10 and 11 are fixed width "Courier New". In general graphics devices don't have to supply such a font.
In particular, I don't think it is possible in the postscript and x11 devices (unless you switch the basic fonts in postscript). It shouldn't be hard to add, though -- basically just add a Courier font at font positions 6, and maybe continue with bold and oblique variants. However, I wouldn't know whether any of what Paul has been up to involves a more radical solution to font handling in general.
The current R-devel graphics device API supports font family name - I just didn't check yet which parameter is used to set it (fontfamily?).
