There's Fixedsys Excelsior, you can get it at http://www.fixedsys.org/. It
has 2 bugs but you can fix them in a hex editor. First, it has the wrong
PANOSE proportion type so it's not recognized as monospaced, to fix that
change byte 19B from 04 to 09. Second, the underline is outside of the
character cell, to fix that change byte 5BFC9 from 56 to F6, and 5BFCB from
82 to 0A.
