when I want to replace Courier with another monospaced font on my slides
I use font translate request in gpresent source.
Below is an excerpt I use.

        .\" ----- remap Courier to LetterGothic used in COD book -----
        .ftr C LGR
        .ftr CR LGR
        .ftr CI LGI
        .ftr CB LGB
        .ftr CBI LGBI
        .\" ----- end of remapping -----

I have a macro that defines that code segments on the slide use bold
and the above practically translates it into LGB.  Works like a charm.
I believe it should work for you too if you translate SS into your
MDUTBIMI font.
