I ran the C test against every font on my Ubuntu 11.10 system with
"Mono" or "Courier" in the name like so:
for name in /usr/share/fonts/truetype/*/*Mono*.ttf; do ./fonttest $name
abcdefgh > `basename $name`.testresult; done
for name in /usr/share/fonts/truetype/*/*Courier*.ttf; do ./fonttest $name
abcdefgh > `basename $name`.testresult; done
Here are the results:

And here are the font versions I have installed:

I only see variation in advance width for FreeMono. As Steve describes
above, perhaps this behaviour is due to how FreeType handles different
outline formats? I'm not sure.
I haven't had an answer yet on the FreeType mailing list, but I've added
this to their bug tracker[1]. I've also taken discussion of how to
position the cursor in Pygame back to the Pygame mailing list[2], as I
was worried I'd just clog up this bug report with information irrelevant
to any (possible) problem in Ubuntu software.
