Eclipse editor with proportional font

R

Roedy Green

One thing I did not like about Eclipse was the font it used that made
) and } look almost identical. The main way I could tell them apart
was from the error messages.

I thought some other font might do better. I was quite puzzled when
it offered me not only fixed pitch font but proportional ones as well
to choose from. How strange! I tried out my Tiresias PCFont Z, a
proportional special type for those with not so perfect vision that
makes it easy to distinguish all letters from each other.

It works fine.

Eclipse is not really doing anything special. It all works because all
spaces are the same width. It does not quite work if you turn on align
fields in columns, which I don't use.

int x = 4;
int xalso = aconstant;
