Traditionally monospace fonts have serifs becuase it makes it easier to balance the spacing of the letters and so make the text easier to read. Decoration of the digit 1 and the letter lower-case l is to avoid the confusion between the two. Much as the various features used to distinguish between the digit 0 and the letter upper-case O. My copy of LO under Tools/Options/LibreOffice/Fonts has a dropdown for Automatic or a particular font, and it has a check box for Non-proportional fonts that is set, and which I assume it is using to populate the dropdown, since I see only monospaced fonts in the list. If you have these settings and it has selected a font that is not 'Non-proportional' then I suggest you investigate to determine whether: - some proportional font has an incorrect attribute, causing it to be included in the list, or - LO is ignoring your setting In both cases a bug report would seem to be appropriate, but where it goes depends on the diagnosis. > Kind regards > > Johnny Rosenberg -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ Privacy Policy: https://www.documentfoundation.org/privacy

It was set to Automatic and to only include mono type fonts, but in spite of that, a non mono type font was selected. I just selected a mono type font (Droid Sans Mono), which is the only one I found so far that is true Sans Serif. Many Sans Serif fonts have a serif in the ones (1), for some strange reason, which I find inconsistent and ugly. Anyway, my problem is solved now and I'm happy with the Droid Sans mono until I find an even better one. Just strange that a non momo type font was selected when set to Automatic, I don't have a clue why that happened.

[libreoffice-users] Font in Basic IDE
Today when I opened the Basic IDE for macro editing, I noticed that the font changed. I'm not sure which one it is now, but maybe FreeSans or something, but it used to be one of those mono fonts, and I want my old font back. How do I change font in the Basic IDE?
