B bocker77 Active Member Licensed User Longtime User Jun 17, 2024 #1 I have a text file that I use the tab key for tabbing. I changed my font in Notepad to use a monospaced font. Everything looks good. I also changed the BBCodeView to use the Monospace font. When I view the text in the app the text after the tabbing are skewed meaning they don't look the same as in Notepad. Example: In app Battleship: 17 Aircraft carrier: 13 Cruiser: 9 In text file Battleship: 17 Aircraft carrier: 13 Cruiser: 9 Looking through the forum I am not finding any other user that had this problem. I may have overlooked any posts though. Any help would be appreciated.

Erel B4X founder Staff member Licensed User Longtime User Jun 18, 2024 #3 Monospace font will not help due to the way BCTextEngine works. It measures the actual width of each character glyph. You can use the span tag achieve a table like layout: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...-bbcode-parser-rich-text-view.106207/#content Upvote 0

B bocker77 Active Member Licensed User Longtime User Jun 18, 2024 #4 Thanks I will view that and implement. Don't really like using monospaced fonts anyway. Upvote 0
