I also had a problem using Monaco 12 with System 7.  The visual appearance of
the text was as if Telnet did not have the bitmapped information for this size.
Courier gave no problems, although the visual effect is nowhere near as nice
as Monaco.

My solution was to replace the Monaco 12 font that came with System 7 with my
old Monaco 12 from System 6.07.  Now Monaco 12 displays as it should.
