Someone else also asked what good monospace is. I for one can't stand to use anything but monospace because it completely destroys legibility on code fragments, configuration file snippets, and a host of other things that depend on spacing (yea, even ASCII art). > I also object to the new PLUG footer on the grounds that I think C > and C-style comments should be a thing of the past. :) :-) I picked C because most of what we use in Linux is written in C. I've been dismayed that sometimes the sig comes through as /* PLUG ... * unsub... */ Instead of /* PLUG ... * unsub... */ (You with proportional fonts probably can't tell the difference. ;-) Not sure what's causing it, it doesn't always happen. -- Hans Fugal | If more of us valued food and cheer and http://hans.fugal.net/ | song above hoarded gold, it would be a http://gdmxml.fugal.net/ | merrier world. | -- J.R.R.
