Monospaced serif font on Android

Is there any standard monospaced serif font on Android? I can find a monospaced sans-serif, but no luck with a serif.

If there is one, what is it?

You can always choose to use your own font. Just place the font file in the assets folder, and use the following code 

Typeface requestedTypeface = Typeface.createFromAsset(context.getAssets(), fontFileName);

For HTML5 app

You can use Google Web Font API to render across browsers. Droid Serif font is available in Google Web Fonts API.

Answer is no, I believe Droid Sans Mono is the only monospaced font available in the platform. See:

android-sdk-linux/platforms/android-17/data/fonts/system_fonts.xml

And

android-sdk-linux/platforms/android-17/data/fonts/fonts.mk

You can, of course, roll your own.
