On Blackberry OS 4.5 and up, how do I select a monospace font from within a java app?
I have read the docs, but the only thing that references “mono” anything is a bitmap font.

I just had a look on a number of devices (using the options screens) for mono space fonts. There does not appear to be any way to select a mono spaced FontFamily through the API, other than by name, also not all OS versions seem to have mono space FontFamilies installed:
9800 V6.0.0.246 – Andale Mono
9700 V5.0.0.862 – None
8820 V4.2.2.169 – None (I know it is earlier than your preferance).
If you really need to use a mono spaced font, you may wish to consider installing one. There is a description of how to do this on eHow, though I haven’t tried this myself. Do be careful of how much memory you are using though.
