That's a font alias. Unfortunately, I've never yet figured out a
straight-forward way to snap the pointer; the best I can suggest is to
go through your concrete font names and find one that looks the same.

I use the same "Monospace" font for my MUD client's default. It's a
good solid default, and I can guarantee that it "exists" on all
systems, even if specific other fonts might not (especially given that
I support three popular OSes). On my Debian system, it looks like
"Monospace" == "DejaVu Sans Mono", so you could try looking at that.
