Should always use a monospace font in editors, so you should never have a 
problem with font size differences.  A space is as wide as an "I", etc.

I don't remember what the default was, but my main editor is set for "Courier 
New", Notepad in Vista defaults to "Lucida Console".  I have a friend who 
uses "Consolas" in Vista.
