Setting the richedit display to fixed-width
« on: September 08, 2008, 09:18 AM »
Is it possible to change the font of the richedit display (the one set by window.richeditmode)? Specifically, to a fixed width font. I have some tabular output (a simple month calendar) I want to display, but it's messed up completely by a proportional width font...

Thanks
Paul

but there is also this problem where the font settings may be altered by plugins as noted in this thread.

Ah, thanks. That helps, but what I was actually after was a way that a plugin could do this, just for one display...

Aha! I found it. If I set window.richeditmode to a string of RTF format text, I can do what I want. Pity RTF is such an ugly format, but never mind - it works :)
