Interesting choice for the name since that is Apple's monospace font.


Or you know, it's also a country.


It's easier to confuse a screenshot of an editor with a monospaced editor font sample than it is with a country.


I'm not sure how you'd confuse either..


"So you use Monaco, huh?"


And if you were legitimately asking this question, it would be immediately clear from context which one you meant, and my answer would either be "Yes" or "This is not Monaco, it's <something else>", with <something else> being either the name of a text editor or a font, depending on context.

And a video game


And a Grand Prix.


and a salt biscuit brand


And the internal codename for a Microsoft-developed music-making program similar to Apple's GarageBand. Apparently never released.

and, in italian, a priest


a monk, not a priest

and a type of shandy.


Actually, although Monaco is still shipped with mac os, the default monospace font has been Menlo since 2009.
