I am using Glade to make the form for a GtkEntry widget. I have it properly working in Julia to accept user input from GtkEntry widgets. My question is what setting will make the entered text appear in a mono spaced font? I have searched quite a bit on the Internet with little luck!

Julia code for glade form is below

```julia
# note 2022-10-12
# note use Gtk and Glade for gui input

# todo 
# todo method of final completion of form
using Gtk
using Revise
println("Prog has started.")

function my_gui()
    glade = GtkBuilder(filename = "JumpGUI.glade") # XML file created in glade
    window = glade["ArchWindow"]
    a1 = glade["a1"]
    a2 = glade["a2"]
    showall(window)
    str1 = ""
    str2 = ""
    if isinteractive()
        c1 = Condition()
        signal_connect(window, "key-press-event") do widget, event
            if event.keyval == 65293 #Enter
                str1 = get_gtk_property(a1, :text, String)
                str2 = get_gtk_property(a2, :text, String)
                notify(c1)
            end
        end
        wait(c1)
    end
    Gtk.destroy(window)
    return str1, str2
end

s1, s2 = my_gui() # get the GtkEntry input text
@show(s1, s2)

println("Prog has ended.")

```

Glade xml file

```xml
