Should always use a monospace font in editors, so you should never have a problem with font size differences. A space is as wide as an "I", etc. I don't remember what the default was, but my main editor is set for "Courier New", Notepad in Vista defaults to "Lucida Console". I have a friend who uses "Consolas" in Vista. -TG ----- Original Message ----- From: "Eric Butera" <eric.butera@xxxxxxxxx> To: nrixham@xxxxxxxxx Cc: php-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Thu, 28 Feb 2008 15:39:21 -0500 Subject: Re: Sometimes I wonder why I even started programming... > I can hit tab and shift/tab too and it puts in spaces for me. > > The reason I prefer spaces over tabs is because in my experience fonts > on different platforms and sizes seem to render tabs slightly off.
