[oXygen-user] Fixed-width font

[Bradley, Peter]

Could I second that motion?

I've spent the last day or so sweating over a complex XPath expression,
without any kind of light dawning.  I just couldn't see how it could
work.

I'd seen this discussion, but ignored it, but then in a fit of
dedication I looked at the expression in Oxygen on my Linux box at home
and deciphered the XPath expression in no time at all.  The reason was
that the font on my Linux box is fixed width, so I spotted the extent of
the square brackets more easily such that the expression made sense.

The default font at work is now fixed width, for me at least.

Cheers


Peter

Out of interest, why isn't the default font not a monospaced font??

I don't know what other people use with oXygen, but the first thing I
do is switch to a fixed width font (monospaced size 12) otherwise
single quotes within double quotes (eg select="'some text'") really
strain your eyes.

The font for the editor in Netbeans is monospaced by default, and I
think most other IDEs are, which is why it's a little unusual for the
default font to not be monospaced...
