Monospace unicode fonts

[gg.2.s...@spamgourmet.com]

I am looking for a monospaced font supporting unicode. So something
like Arial Unicode MS, just monospaced like Courier.

It should support characters for the following languages: German,
Greek, English, Spanish, French, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese,
Korean, Dutch, Portuguese, Russian, Swedish, Thai, Turkish, Simplified
Chinese.

Does anyone know of a font like that? Or several fonts covering the
requirements together?

Best regards,
Bernd

Recent versions of Courier New, as supplied with Windows, should
provide everything except Korean, Thai and Simplified Chinese.

If you can't use Courier New, then look at:

DejaVu Mono

or
Free Monospaced
http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/freefont/

I thought all Korean and Chinese fonts were monospaced, but I am not
an expert.

For Thai, try Courier MonoThai:

Windows XP has no font that I could select in Internet Explorer
as "Plain text font" for "Language script: Thai".
But I can indeed choose this Courier MonoThai.

Now I have the follwing settings in Internet Explorer 7:

Language script: Thai

Webpage font: Plain text font:
Tahoma Courier MonoThai

I view http://www.user.uni-hannover.de/nhtcapri/temp-2.html
with Internet Explorer 7.
Strangely, the <pre> and <tt> paragraphs are displayed in Tahoma,
only the {font-family: monospace} paragraph is displayed in
Courier MonoThai.

When I manually override the encoding Windows-874 and
choose Unicode (UTF-8), then the whole page is displayed
in Courier MonoThai.
