I'm sure anyone who's tried it agrees that significant whitespace means that python and proportional fonts don't play well together... Basically, you need to get your browser to override the stylesheet of the page with the following snippet of css: div.msg div.mb, .cm, .tb { font-family: monospace !important; font-size: 12px !important; } In Firefox, you add it to the userContent.css file in your preferences (you'll probably have to create this, see http://www.mozilla.org/support/firefox/edit). With Safari on MacOSX you make a css file anywhere you like (I used ~/Library/Safari/MyPrefs.css), add this snippet, and then select the file from the "Advanced" tab in Safari's Preferences. I don't know about other browsers, but the same sort of thing is almost certainly possible. Cheers, Michael _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
