Yes, par(family="mono") would work, except that I get R segfaults from this
sequence:

Process R segmentation fault (core dumped) at Mon Dec 20 16:07:56 2004
on R 2.0.1 (2004-11-15), Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 3
In my code I call strheight and strwidth several times in order to find a
cex that makes the text best fit the display area. Once the segfaulting is
fixed, I'll update my code to use par(family="mono").
