both the ingame console and telnet consoles use fixed fonts and for drawing displays like the one attached it would be nice to do so in kode rather than have to use another editor to lay things out

Im not 100% sure what you are suggesting, Could you please clarify? Thanks! :)

I believe he means that each character displayed takes up the same width. So if you type ten i's in one row and ten w's in the next the last character from one row will be vertically aligned with the last character from the other row,
The difference is between fixed font spacing and variable is demonstrated below.

Ah I see now, I thought that was what it was. Just wanted to clarify.
Thats certainly something I could add.

whoops, should have said fixed-width font instead of fixed font

I guess I should get around to making the appearance options, I have been promising that since 0.2 or something.

Simply changing the default font in Kode to a fixed-width font would go a long way
