| I got so many stored procs written in QA's default font. 10 pt, courier new.I changed it to Ariel Bold last night and like the visiblity much better. But the indentation (tabs) get all messed up. Ariel seems to *just* come out to the first tab, so the existing tabs go another tab space, and -- get the idea? I'm not gonna go there. Too much reformatting of existing code needed.So I was wondering. Anyone out there think they've got a QA font setup worth mentioning?Maybe I'll revisit this tonight and tweak the tab size. Sam |

| Courier is a mono-spaced font. That's what makes all the difference. You won't get perfect indentation with other fonts.OS |

| So. Nobody here uses MS Comic Sans Serif? And this is because *all* the other fonts are proportional?Perhaps the new wave after mono-spaced and proportional fonts will be dynamically changing font spacing. Your eyes will need to follow the SQL as it moves back and forth on the display.Sam |

| Monotype font = all letters/characters are the same width. In arial an m is about three times as wide as an i and therefore you get the messed up indentation. Just wanted to clairify what mohdowais said... |

You're not a real SQL programmer until you set QA to run in Wingdings.  |

Hey, let's get into an argument about the best development font. Then we can get into :vi vs EmacsTabs vs Spaces (for Stoad)Where to place the curly brace Damian |

| I'm a big fan of Lucida Console. It's a monospace font so it shouldn't cause any problems. I also find it to be much more readable than Courier. I originally just used it for presentations but I switched full-time a while back.===============================================Creating tomorrow's legacy systems today.One crisis at a time. |
