Hi,
I just tried this against a Tomcat 5.5.17 and it displayed and showed mono for me. I set the style property this way from the designer for each component: style->Font-> , then I highlight selected "Courier New', Courier, monospace, pressed Edit and moved monospace up in the selection so that the FontFamily would then read "monospace" first. This should be reflected both in the CSS style below, and in the style preview, as well as in the .jsp. I tested both static text and textfield components from the Basic group. and Standard group.
If this still does not work for you, is your component on the designer screen displayed as selected, i.e. has 6 move handles (or 4 signifying it is still in edit mode)? Make sure it is still not in edit mode.
