The immediate issue unfortunately is that Ubuntu Mono does not exactly *work* at this time, and neither does Monospace for that matter. Thus this work around was created.
For my part though on the question of design; When it comes to a Terminal Emulator, I think leaving features, and flexibility within it will be a driver for attracting super users away from android, and perhaps even IOS, to bask in the glory of a Terminal Emulator with kde-like flexibility. It is something that is perhaps the coolest thing you can demo on an ubuntu-touch right now, with the old terminal functionality, and I look forward to showing it off to my friends.
Otherwise though; if this were not a Terminal, I would be in agreement.
