Just request the font by its correct name (which depends on the
names supplied with your software).  The most common name for
that font is "CW", so assuming that applies to you:

.ft CW
This is set in constant-width (typewriter) font.
.ft	\" restore previous font

or

stuff \f(CWconstant-width\f0 more stuff

Some macro packages also have a .CW (and .CN) macro to enter
(leave) constant-width font mode.

Your typewriter font may only be available in certain point
sizes (usually 10 and 12).
