Or anything with "console" or "terminal" in its name may be a good bet
if you don't have those available.

Some of your non-technical email may look strange if you force your mail
reader to display in those fonts, though.

It depends on your Linux distribution, probably.  Usually you install
fonts as software packages like you'd install any other program.  In
your package manager, try searching for "truetype" or "ttfont" or just
"font".

(And once again we've wandered off-topic, but it's hard to use a shell
without a good fixed-width font.)
