It does not matter if it requires additional work or layers to achieve it, I would appreciate it if anyone can let me know if there is a way. Perhaps a third party plug-in would also help if there is one.

The problem with monospaced typefaces is that all glyphs have to have the same width, but different characters need various amount of space.
