Hi Cees,

This is discussed on the FAQ:
How come I can't use my favorite font in The Bat!?
Currently, The Bat! only supports fixed width fonts (like Courier
New). This is an item on the wish list, and possibly support for
non-fixed width fonts will appear in version 2.
For now, you can go here to look at some fixed-width fonts that you might like:
http://home.bsu.edu/prn/monofont/index.html
However, the below fix might work for you until support is added,
but be forewarned that this is not a supported action:
If you absolutely need variable-width fonts, you can go and
manually edit your registry, in particular, these sections of it:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\RIT\The Bat!\Editor\Font
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\RIT\The Bat!\Rich Text
If you manually edit the name of the font to be used, The Bat! will
obey... But be advised, that if, for example, you enter "Arial",
you'll hardly be able to read anything :-)

The theory behind only showing in a fixed font is that column aligned
and ASCII art text remains legible at all times.
The wish list acknowledges that not all messages contain ASCII art and
that a simple toggle between fixed and variable would be a "good
thing" ;-).
