We have both Letter Gothic and Orator from Adobe on our Macintoshes
for use with PostScript printers. The latter is Caps/SmallCaps only. The
Adobe Font & Function catalog also lists Prestige Elite. All three should
be familiar to anybody who ever owned a Selectric. If you want to get
silly, you might also try OCR-A, OCR-B, and MICR, all of which I think are
monospaced, but probably not very good for program listings, which is what
most people seem to want.
From the looks of the type sample in F&F, I think Ponderosa might
be mono too. Try doing program listings in that!
