The default _is_ monospace (specifically, the monospace system font). You _are_ doing something special by changing the font - and gedit happens to work just fine with proportional-spaced fonts, which someone might even prefer for whatever they're doing. Having another option to filter the font list might be a nice enhancement, but I think it's pretty easy to see why it wasn't a priority. > Seriously, who is in charge with the UI design in gnome? > Whoever it is needs to be fired. This isn't the way GNOME works, or open source in general. Nor is this an effective way to create change. I recommend, instead, filing an RFE at <https://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=gedit> -- although leaving the hyperbolic rhetoric and simply presenting the case is a lot more likely to be effective.
