Actually, I believe that Courier will be substituted for Monaco (both of
these are monospaced typefaces), as well.
In my experience, for the reason David C. mentioned above, it is best to
work with a screen font corresponding to the PostScript outline font in
your printer, even if it is not optimized for the 72-dpi screen on your
Mac.
