I use the 'Comic Sans MS' font in gbSnippets because I think it is easier to view. It's also the default display font when someone first uses gbSnippets.
However it is not a fixed width font, which means that it's mostly impossible to line up content - such as comments at the end of multiple lines of code. It's also makes it harder to export the source code to HTML when TABs in included in the text.
gbSnippets allows the user to change the display font, but if I align some content visually, then changing fonts messes up the alignment. So I'm thinking of changing the default font to a fixed font and adjust content alignment as needed.
Does anyone has a suggestion on a fixed width font that they consider very readable. One that comes with Windows is appropriate.
Out of the 406 snippets in gbSnippets, there are approximately 30 which would look better if some of the content were visually aligned. If I'm going to switch over to a fixed width font, sooner is better, so I'm looking for font suggestions.
