I recently upgraded to Ubuntu 12.04, and I see that when using eclipse for editing source code, the bold characters displayed with the Monospace font are actually thicker than the non-bold ones. Thus, the Monospace font is actually not mono-space. (same space for all characters)
Is this a known issue? Am I missing something?
How do I make it mono-space again?

I'm having a similar problem with Monospace.
As a workaround I've switched to using Bitstream Vera Sans Mono which looks very similar but doesn't have the bold problem.
If you don't have it, you can install it by doing
sudo apt-get install ttf-bitstream-vera.
