I want a monospace font for my UILabel in my iOS application.
Unfortunately, I could not find one. Even "American Typewriter" was not actually monospaced. What is a monospace font available in XCode?

The font can't be changed to a different font, either. The Apple notes app is a very basic and very limited notes app. It is Helvetica (even though it doesn't say), and the monospaced font (which definitely isn't Helvetica).
The system fonts Courier, Menlo, and Consolas are examples of monospaced fonts , so named because every character is the same width. When the characters vary in width, the font is called proportional .
A monospaced font, also called a fixed-pitch, fixed-width, or non-proportional font, is a font whose letters and characters each occupy the same amount of horizontal space. This contrasts with variable-width fonts, where the letters and spacings have different widths.
Summary. The only monospaced TrueType fonts shipped by Microsoft are Courier New, which shipped with Windows 3.1, and Lucida Sans Typewriter, which was included in the TrueType Font Pack.
Several iOS built-in fonts have monospaced digit characters, including the system default Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Verdana, American Typewriter, Chalkboard SE, Copperplate, Gill Sans, Marker Felt, Trebuchet MS (and probably more)
You can access system fonts in monospaced with the following Fontfactory method: static func system(Font.TextStyle, design: Font.Design) -> Font Example: let monospacedBody = Font.system(.body, .monospaced)
Since most digital media doesn’t use monospaced fonts, it can be challenging for the human brain to recognize a complete word at a glance, but it’s possible with proportional fonts. Besides blogs, monospaced fonts also won’t work with addresses, measurements in recipe books, textbooks, notebook covers, and other designs and print media.
This sans-serif typeface is the system font for iOS, macOS, and tvOS, and includes a rounded variant.
