'monospace' is not a font, but a font alias. What this font aliases to depends on the font configuration, and is based on available fonts on the system. On a system which is scant on fonts, this is subject to change when a new font is installed. Either set an alias in a local font conf filefor monospace, or change the font to one you prefer in dwm's C header. Choose the former to keep maximum portability and a single point of configuration for a "system-wide" monospace font, or the latter if that does not matter to you.
