This probably does too much, because it looks rubbish on windows.

Comment 2

[Joe Walker [:jwalker]]

This is likely to clash with other changes, which may well fix the problem anyway. Postponing for now.

This patch fixes the problem on linux.

When we try the same thing on windows/mac, everything reverts to courier (or similar), so the only changes to win/mac is minor tidyup.

We need bug 713680 for Windows and a similar bug for OS X.

So, would you like this committed as is, or wait until bug 713680 and the yet to be raised osx bug get fixed?

You could land this now, but you'd need some other bug to track changing Windows and OS X to use monospace.

We're no longer using monospace fonts.
