Console now enumerates and allows selection of monospace TTF fonts.

Alas, as one of our dev's says often "Fonts are just files containing collections of lies"!

Some fonts claim to only contain monospace, glyphs, but don't and include non-monospace or irregularly sized chars. Others just lie completely.

But if you have well-formed TTF fonts, that express correct metdata, and ARE monospace, then they should be selectable.

Having buggy fonts is no reason to hide fonts from the user.
