Damn, I didn't even notice...

Let's give it a shot...

Hmm, that could come in handy...

Now if only we had a way to switch to a fixed width font...

(hint, hint, hint)

Actually, I think Courier (fixed width) is installed on all machines ...
even my old 486 has it!

But anyway, I like the way it is now :)

Courier would be the one to choose, you'd have to really try hard to find a system without it.

Although maybe those God-awful Macs don't have it?

No no, I mean a tag to switch the font to a fixed width font, for displaying code, tables, etc.

That's just one feature I've been wanting, totally unrelated to the preview function.

Cool. :) That will rock once it's in place.

konichiwa...

A fixed width font is a font where all characters take up the same amount of space, be it a letter, number, space, punctuation mark, etc. Whenever you type a message reply you're typing in a fixed width font. It makes it possible to line up code, tables, etc. with spaces or dots.
