    There is no collision.  Simplifying, you can think of "Monospace" as
an alias to a "real" name, that looks something like this:

-misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-c-60-iso10646-1

    There are standard mechanisms to change these aliases, which allows
things like themes and skins to take effect on all programs system-wide.
Nothing stops you to alias "Monospace" to a proportional width font, but
then you deserve what you get. :)
