Do you mean _monospaced_ (aka "fixed width") font? "Monotype" is the
name of a font foundry; check their offerings at www.monotype.com. 

It doesn't have to be PostScript -- TrueType and OpenType work fine for
PDF. You shouldn't encounter an embedding restriction on fonts from a
major foundry or vendor, such as Monotype, Linotype, or Adobe.  

I like Lucida Sans Typewriter, which just happens to come from the
aforementioned Monotype Corp. and is available in several weights and
variations. My versions are TrueType, but I think Monotype also has
OpenType and PostScript versions. 

For a list of foundries and vendors, see:
