     A monospace font is a font designed for text display where the the
     characters form a regular grid. For Western languages this would
     mean that the advance width of all characters are the same, but
     this categorization also includes Asian fonts which include
     double-width characters: characters that occupy two grid cells.
     'gUnicharIswide()' returns a result that indicates whether a
     character is typically double-width in a monospace font.

_U_s_a_g_e:

     pangoFontFamilyIsMonospace(object)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

'object': ['PangoFontFamily']  a 'PangoFontFamily'

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     The best way to find out the grid-cell size is to call
     'pangoFontMetricsGetApproximateDigitWidth', since the results of
     'pangoFontMetricsGetApproximateCharWidth' may be affected by
     double-width characters.  

     Since  1.4

_V_a_l_u_e:

     [logical] 'TRUE' if the family is monospace.
