 |
|
This is a small and simple request, I think. I do not have Courier New font and so the code tags on this site do not show up with a mono-spaced font. So I think that one of the options for the font-family should be Courier 10 Pitch. Its easy to install Courier New font, I'm sure, but it is still a nice commodity for others as well to not have to do that. If it requires more work than doing in the CSS, "font-family: Courier New, Courier 10 Pitch;" then you can pretty much forget about this request, I'm just putting it out there.

Do the code boxes show up for anyone as mono-spaced? Spacing that appears aligned in editors here using Courier New ends up looking different when posted for me... |

Maybe you don't have Courier New... I don't know.

Unless it's a modified version for some unknown reason, I do have it listed here on this XP Pro SP2 machine. |

| The documentation deliberately avoids using a monospace font in PRE/Code sections because I feel it makes most examples looks better. By contrast, the forum is set to use monospace (Andale / Courier I believe). If this isn't the case, please provide more details if you can. |

Exactly:
| Code: | | font-family: Andale Mono,Courier New,Courier,sans-serif |
So:
1) There is already Courier in the font list;
2) There is the sans-serif fall back (generic) name, so set your browser to use whatever font you want for this setting. Bitstream Vera Sans Mono is free, and close of Andale Mono. |
