Liberation Mono _is_ being used for Courier New, the current replacements are (
https://github.com/wine-staging/wine-staging/tree/master/patches/fonts-Missing_Fonts
):
Arial -> Liberation Sans
Times New Roman -> Liberation Serif
Courier New -> Liberation Mono
Microsoft YaHei -> WenQuanYi Micro Hei

^^ This. So, we either have to build the font ahead of time (the way we do it
now) or we have to deploy a program to the end-user to rebuild the font with
the new name (really tricky).
