This appears to be a Win8/Sigil bug. However, you easily fix this by manually editing the sigil.ini file:

1. Close Sigil, and press Windows+R (Run).
2. Enter %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local and press Enter.
3. Locate the sigil-ebook folder and open the sigil folder in it.
4. Create a backup of sigil.ini and open it with an editor.
5. Locate the code_view_font_family_standard line, change the font name to PT Mono and save sigil.ini.
(It should look like this: code_view_font_family_standard=PT Mono)

When you start Sigil the next time it should use PT Mono in Code View mode.
