…or a font with "Courier" "Console" "Fixed" or "Typewriter" in its name:
examples:

Bitstream Vera Sans Mono
DejaVu Sans Mono
Luxi Mono
Mitra Mono
Monospace

Courier New
Courier New KOI-8

Misc Console

Misc Fixed

Lucida Sans Typewriter


I don't recommend Lucida if you have (or could have) text with bold
Cyrillic text: in my experience, such glyphs are one pixel too wide in
that font.


Best regards,
Tony.
