I don't think there's any bug there - I really think that for GTK the default 
monospaced font is Courier New (GTK probably wants to support Windows XP or, 
possibly, Courier New makes more sense for non-coding environments). The 
Preferences options are just for Scintilla and the messages window.

Both seem a bit too complicated just for this simple thing.

If I'm not mistaken, there's no way to specify what the default monospaced font 
is inside the theme is there? The theme shipped with Geany is fully under our 
control and we could modify it whichever way we wanted. But if we specify some 
different value there, it will get overridden by geany's css.
