Date: Thu, 5 Oct 1995 20:11:08 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <19951006001108.RKRLup80n0nyr17Cwg5KvCwH1fdjoDTTbk4e6pks81c@z> (raw)
To change the font, RTFM, in particular the -f and -F options and the
Font built-in command.
It uses a proportional font for several reasons:
1. to be more readable
2. to get more text on the screen
3. to make the tool look less like a teletype
A fixed-pitch font is old fashioned. Outside the Unix domain,
most computer text is variable-pitch these days. Fixed-pitch
will soon follow in the footsteps of CAPITAL LETTERS AND PUNCHED
CARDS.
Seriously, if you need more than indentation with tabs to lay
out your program, you're probably worrying about the wrong
things in your source code.
