I'm using monospace fonted text for hyperlinks in my menu. In order to eliminate the underline, I used text-decoration:none. Will this prevent me from making the font bolder?

No text-decoration doesn't have any effect on font-weight. They are two entirely different properties.

It will not. Font weight is not affected by decoration. Link to jsfiddle in comments

The monospace font just doesn't look particularly different when it's bolded. Try setting it to Courier instead.

What a monospace font looks like when bolded depends on the font, on the rendering engine, and other things. Using Courier is a bad move; Courier does not look good, especially on some old systems where real Courier (a bitmap font) is used – modern Windows systems map Courier to Courier New. – Jukka K.

All good points - though when I said "monospace font" I was referring to the font-family "Monospace," which s/he had chosen to use originally. To the OP, most designers would probably suggest avoiding any monospaced fonts unless there's a reason they need to be monospaced. In that case, Courier New is probably your best bet other than downloading and embedding a custom font. – mgrahamjo Mar 08 '13 at 17:59
