Question

I would like to have TWiki use a fixed-width font (e.g., Courier) in the Edit sessions (the variable-width font makes it hard to count spaces, etc.). Is there a way to set this for my TWiki server and/or for a session or user?

• TWiki version: r1.20
• Perl version: 5.6.1
• Web server & version: Apache 1.3.27
• Server OS: FreeBSD 4.7
• Web browser & version: Internet Explorer 5.2 for Mac
• Client OS: Mac OS 10.2.6

Answer

Interesting, the browsers I use use fixed font for edit areas. You probably can set that in your browser preferences.

If you want to control it on the server side you can add a style sheet or font setting around the textarea tag in the edit.tmpl script. Or, in fact, there is already a style setting for the textarea tag: The EDITBOXSTYLE can be set on a per user level (right now it is just used to set the edit box width to the full window width).
