Unfortunately this "Monospace" does not look like Luxi Mono at all,
it is a completely different font w/o serifes, actually it is
Lucida Sans Typewriter (found by stepping thru all fonts in control
center, another annoyance that you just see "Monospace" and dont get
the real font name)

So I am still stuck.
