Обсуждение: New font for testing in Query Editor tool
Hello,
the new font looks more cleaner and is easier to read then the previous one. So I like the change. (this is of course my personal opinion)
Somehow the leading (distance between the lines) looks too high. So sometimes I need to look closely.
I will test the new build some more time tomorrow, but for now it looks much nicer.
Tested on Windows 7 x64 VM.
Are you planning to update the font in SQL view to?
The problem with tab width is still not improved, but this might be not the font’s fault.
pgAdmin4 v1.4
pgAdmin4 1.6 (this test build)
Notepad++ (example for correct tab width)

I like it! I agree with the earlier poster that the line height could be decreased -- but not by much. Perhaps a pixel or two.

Maybe I’m missing something,
Shouldn’t all code including SQL use fixed width font?

Yeah, something was bugging me about it too - I think it was the line height.

It does. The question is, *which* fixed width font.

Also, could this be easily configurable?
Possibly not, but then it will fall back to the old one.On Wed, Jul 19, 2017 at 1:13 PM, Mike Surcouf <mikes@surcouf.co.uk> wrote:Is that font available on all browsers iPad etc?

Just a thought, if v4 is web based - why don't you use webfonts, like whatever is available on https://fonts.google.com/?category=Monospacewith the option to fall back to the old ones?
Also, could this be easily configurable?

How are you going to tell what OS.
Bear in mind the server version (which I find runs much better than desktop) only has the concept of a browser agent.
I think the concept of specific font on a cross platform tool is not good IMHO.
As long as you fall back to
font-family: “monospace”;

I had only ever used the hosted versions of Google fonts so I wrote off this option for cases where there is no internet connection. However it does seem like you can download them - we can potentially package the application with a Google font rather than rely on native fonts that come with the OS.

Menlo only applies for Macs, Consolas is the new proposed font for Windows.

Yeah, line height is a little wonky now because we're working with two fonts with different x-heights. I'm looking into Google fonts now, it would be so great if both applications could rely on the same font.
