Default Font question

The default spacing of the margins and tab settings are user configurable
the former by the grid (drawing menu) the latter in the tab dialog.

See, the thing is if I have an even 1/4th inch long character font, I
can easily format my margins without holding down the Alt key and
having to try really hard to make sure the characters all line up
perfectly when I use the Left Indent thing on the ruler. Big pain
that is.

Courier or Lucinda Sans Typewriter at 14.5 will fit 48 characters
into a 6 inch line. Monospaced fonts don't look great, and you
cannot guarantee 48 characters as the wrap around will take long
words on to the next line. Why not just justify text?

How can I get a monospaced font that has an exact width of 1/8th of
an inch (and therefore will fit 48 characters on a six-inch line)?
It will line up perfectly with the horizontal ruler. This would be
a huge help for my study guide.
