hi rajeev, you likely already have some mono fonts installed, if not you 
can try:

in gnome-terminal, click the edit menu, then profile preferences... on 
the general tab you can change the font... i think the default is 
monospace 12...

you can change the font there... if you don't see any you like, you can 
try these fixed size fonts:


sudo apt-get install ttf-droid
sudo apt-get install ttf-dejavu
sudo apt-get install ttf-liberation

liberation is my favorite



hope that helps
