I changed this Forum area to a monospaced font (Courier New). It looks better when someone posts tab without following the instructions.
What do you think? Good idea, or bad?

Here's some tab without the TAB tag:
1 _(F)_______________________________(C)_____
2 ___________________________________________
3 ___________________________________________
4 ___________________________________________
5 _6A-8A___6A__6-4__6A-8A___6-6A__6__2A-3A___
6 _6B-8B___6B__6-4__6B-8B___6-6B__6__2B-3B___
7 _______8________________8__________________
8 ___________________________________________
9 ___________________________________________
10___________________________________________
and here it is WITH the TAB tag:
1 _(F)_______________________________(C)_____
2 ___________________________________________
3 ___________________________________________
4 ___________________________________________
5 _6A-8A___6A__6-4__6A-8A___6-6A__6__2A-3A___
6 _6B-8B___6B__6-4__6B-8B___6-6B__6__2B-3B___
7 _______8________________8__________________
8 ___________________________________________
9 ___________________________________________
10___________________________________________
The main difference now is size. Of course, the [TAB] tag can still be used in other Forum areas to force a monospaced font.[This message was edited by b0b on 17 May 2000 at 12:38 PM.] |

Thanx b0b..Sure is an improvement as far as the size goes. NOW my WalMart cheapo bifocals don't have to work as hard.

| It looks good b0b. I'm running 1152x864 with the next to smallest fonts in IE. The timestamps run together and some of the links are so small they're unreadable, but I can live with it. |

Yeah, the down side is that it affects ALL of the text on the page. The small stuff gets pretty hard to read.
I could switch to Andale Mono, which is more legible. A lot of people don't have it, though. Here's a sample:
First some tab:
1 _(F)_______________________________(C)_____
2 ___________________________________________
3 ___________________________________________
4 ___________________________________________
5 _6A-8A___6A__6-4__6A-8A___6-6A__6__2A-3A___
6 _6B-8B___6B__6-4__6B-8B___6-6B__6__2B-3B___
7 _______8________________8__________________
8 ___________________________________________
9 ___________________________________________
10___________________________________________
Now here's some small text, like you'd see on other parts of the page:
Show Signature: include your profile signature. Only registered users may have signatures.

What do you think? Should I switch it to Andale Mono?

NO.
Andale Mono doesn't seem monspaced on my system; the tab isn't lined up.
I wonder if that's because I don't actually have Andale Mono, and my system is substituting something else. |

| Earnest, I just edited it to include Courier as the second choice. Does it look better on your system now? |

Okay, it's now all changed to Andale Mono, with Courier as the second choice.
