Use an editor like GEdit and change the font to a proportional one and admire how much nicer the code looks! (There are some aspects of some coding styles that work well with monospace fonts, that make code look dreadful in proportional fonts, and vice versa. For a fair comparison make sure a style that is reasonable for both monospace and proportional is used.) I really cannot understand the obsession computing people have with using monospace fonts, I just assume it is a hang over from the line printer era which created a mindset that most people do not challange. As soon as computers moved from 80x24 terminals to editors with pixel based accuracy and nice fonts I ditched all use of monospace fonts. -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:russel.win...@ekiga.net 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: rus...@winder.org.uk London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder
