Gotchas - Fonts

The default font after installing QTP 9.5 is a PROPORTIONAL font!

To change this:

Go into the View Options dialog box (<Alt>TN)

On the Fonts and Colors Tab

Select a monospaced font (like Courier New)
    (Proportional fonts for scripts are an abomination)

If you don't have Courier New already, you can download it below.

There are other monospaced fonts to choose from:

Some fonts display a lot more lines on your display than others.

Consolas

This font can be found as part of Powerpoint Viewer 2007

Andale Mono

This font was originally offered by Microsoft in 1996 as a free 'core font'.

In 2002 they withdrew it but continued to allow distribution by third parties in unmodified form.
