Well, Liberation Mono is sufficiently monospace for native (that is Linux)
programs, I didn't dig deep enough into wine to figure out why it isn't for
wine.

Also, some of wine's font handling is plain weird - see two of my bugs, for
example:
- bug 41687: my hackish fix is made in place which should affect only unaliased
bitmap fonts, yet it fixes the opposite cases
- bug 42606: for some reason, wrong codepage is picked for the font, leading to
mojibake

OK, only the first one might be tangentially relevant, I'm just (yet again)
fishing for hints.

Still, per wiki page: "Liberation Mono is styled closer to Liberation Sans than
Monotype's Courier New, though its metrics match with Courier New.".
