Thanks all for the feedback...
So it sounds like something weird going on in my set up. As I think I mentioned I have used monospaced fonts several times in the past and they worked as I expected and as you have very helpfully confirmed.
Consider the attached image which I think illustrates what I noticed. Look closely at the I and J. In the top line where J follows I the spacing looks weird to me compared to the line below it where I have deliberately transposed J and K.
I just tried this on my MacBook Pro and see the same thing...

It may well be just me but it seems that both Affinity Photo and Affinity Designer don't seem to respect the spacing of monospaced fonts. What I mean by this is that if I create some text in a font such as Menlo I expect the letter 'A' and the letter 'I' to be the same width. Instead it behaves like a proportional font. I know this used to work as expected as I have several images created with Affinity Designer in the past.
I guess my question is: Is there a setting somewhere I have missed that is overriding the inherent characteristics of the font?
Note: Menlo spacing works as expected in other packages I have installed.
