Did you try David's suggestion?  If you are using a recent version of
Office or Windows they come installed with Courier New and Consola
which are both monospaced fonts that should work.  If you have none of
these, just go through trying the fonts you do have or a quick search
on google will lead you to numerous free monospaced fonts you can
download and use.
