I did find this:

Tip: By default, when you set an EditText element to use the "textPassword" input type, the font family is set to monospace, so you should change its font family to "sans-serif" so that both text fields use a matching font style.

@Raz0rwire In native android the default behaviour is as you describe, but setting the font family works to override the default. What seems to be happening here is that the override is not being applied.

It will be fixed by PR #6564.
