Surely this is a level of fascism too far (*). Using monospace fonts is just so 1960s, the era of typewriters and 80x25 terminals. Personally I am living in an era where monitors deal with proportional fonts which every experiment done shows are easier to read. Why do so many programmers hanker for the 1960s and the necessity of monospace fonts, it seems irrational. (*) Go imposes these sorts of rules, well at least brace placement and indentation levels, and it really irritates. -- 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...@russel.org.uk London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder
