zmud text colums/tabs |
when I opened zmud this morning I got a message that my settings file was corrupted!!! so I had to go back through and am attempting to my installation back into a useable status, I have admitted that my triggers etc are gone :( I have solved most of my problems except that when I look at txt in the game it does not seem to do colums correctly I see text like:
Code: |

| [d] - Disconnect. |
| [s] - Status of the game. |
| [w] - Who is currently playing. |
| [c] - Create a new character. |

when all of the pipes should line up nicely, I am not sure what the problem is and would appreciate any advice that can be given.
Edit: TonDiening added code /code flags to get a better view of the question |

This is probably due to the fact that your font is a variable one versus a fixed width font.
Change your font to something like Fixedsys as an example and it should all line up.
As an example:
Variable like:

Go to View > Preferences > Fonts and make sure that all of the fonts are a monospaced font (i.e. Courier, which is, I believe, the default).
