[Eric] Monospace font on Linux

[Detlev Offenbach]

Hello,

the monospaced menu entry can only be activated for files, that don't have a highlighter. For all 
these the syntax highlighter is responsible for supplying the font. In case of Python you must 
configure the fonts for Python2 and/or Python3. When you load a Python source file you will see 
the variant detected by a little icon in the status bar.
