Monospace serif fonts

Does OS X come with any monospace serif fonts?

I know that Snow Leopard came with a monospace font called Menlo, but it is sans serif.

Also, how do I find descriptions of the fonts on my iMac?

iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We're users and do not speak for "Apple Inc."

Open Applications/Font Book.app to see the installed fonts on your system.

Selecting Fixed Width in the far left Collection column displays the pre-defined fixed-width collection included by Apple.

Courier and Courier New are fixed-width serif fonts included with OS X 10.6 and newer. Courier New (includes Courier New, Courier New Bold, Courier New Italic, and Courier New Bold Italic).

Here's the font list for OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard (this forum)

Thank you for answering my question. I am especially for your instructions on how to find fonts.

You know the old saying:
