Because the appearance of the Button-Text is controlled by the
CellOption ButtonBoxOptions, which is a list of options you could use
for Button (or alternatively a style name of the current stylesheet).
This option is somewhat hidden in the option inspector but can be found
in Formatting Options -> Control Options -> ButtonBoxOptions. If you
change the settings there to e.g. {FontFamily->"Courier"} you can
achieve the same changes from the options inspector and will change the
appearance of all buttons within that cell. Many, including me find it
easier to use a programming construct like Style, though. Also note that
also the following should work:
Button["Test",BaseStyle->{FontFamily->"Courier"}]
