Fixed Width Monospace Font

Recommended Posts

Hello,

I was wondering what fixed width or monospaced font people like to use.

Thanks

Dan

I've never used a fixed width or monospaced font, other than in Notepad where it is Lucida Console 10 point by default. Why would I need a fixed point font? In LabVIEW you can calculate the width of a string based on its font and style, it's been discussed here a couple times.

Because I have a feature request to fix the size of my sting control to X amount of characters. So I want to have a static string control size but need to be able to enter whatever characters I want. I am thinking a fixed width font would do nicely.

Yeah I have been looking courrier. However it looks like the font from Wargames.

Courier is the old typewriter font as typewriters are always monospace.

Monaco is a more modern monospace font that is commonly found on Macs.

Lucida Console is another monospace font that is often available on Windows.
