Although there is supposed to be a monospace font in the family, the default package doesn't come with it. I tried getting ttf-ubuntu-monospace but there aren't any packages with that name. How/where can I get the monospace font?

Ubuntu Monospace comes preinstalled with Ubuntu 11.10 and it is the default terminal font.
If you want to install it on non-Ubuntu or pre-11.10 machines, download it from font.ubuntu.com!

I'm not 100% sure but probably the package name is
fonts-ubuntu-title
, so, if missing, that is a package that can be installed Jan 21 at 17:16
The Ubuntu monospace fonts have been released since this question was asked: http://font.ubuntu.com/

2They also come with Ubuntu 11.10, and in fact Ubuntu Mono 13 is the new default terminal font. Oct 18, 2011 at 20:45

and get it easily by downloading
