What about "monospace"?

The naming of specific fonts in the "font-family" property won't work for
all of the people, all of the time, but the same can be said of:

* Javascript
* CSS
* Images
* Publishing on the WWW at all (plenty of people without access)
* The English Language[1]

Just use it wisely and provide a decent fall-back.

world's population will speak English. (Obviously not as a first language
in most of the cases!)
