bonjour

does somebody know how to keep the alignement of letters like in the notepad
of windows ?
I notice that's different between notepad and a richtextbox.... don't know
why and how to keep it like in notepad...
(if man types 6 letters and return and 6 more letters. the last i of the
second line is not aligned... why ?
a b c d e f => 6 letters
g h i j i i => 6 letters

is there a way to open this txt file and keep the alignement ?

thank you

If you want the letter to always been aligned you need to use a fixed
width font like "Courrier New". True-Type fonts a D is a different
width than an l.

I'm not positive, but isn't Courier New a true-type font? I mean, doesn't
true-type mean that what you see on the screen is what you get from the
printer? Once again, not positive...but thought that's what it meant.

Yes, that's true, Courier New is a TrueType font. I believe the OP wanted
to type monospace font or non-proportional font.

Yes, that's true too.
