[sugar] GTK/pango fonts and non-european languages

I use monospace fonts to render numeric fields in each of my activities.  For
example, at one point to set the font for a label I use:

valuefont = pango.FontDescription()
valuefont.set_family("monospace")
valuefont.set_absolute_size(300*pango.SCALE)
self.value.modify_font(valuefont)

This works perfectly in European LOCALEs.  In Arabic, the resulting font
displays Western-style Arabic numerals, but in a font that is script-like and
definitely not mono-spaced.

Is this correct behavior?  What is the recommendation regarding monospace,
numeric displays, and non-european locales?
