[Implemented] Courier as font in debugger

I want the debugger to use a Courier font so all the characters have the same width, would be much better when you try to list stuff...
Actually I think the user should be able to choose the in from the preferences!

Definately needs to be non-proportional. Good idea.

Mabe another request on 19-04-2007 would help a bit...
Realy Fred, it would be very handy to be alble to change the
font in the debugger.

The debugger should have an option for the font; not just lock it to Courier.
And another idea for the debugger: it should have a horizontal slider bar,
so we can see all the lengths of long strings, as in this (silly) example code:
Code: Select all
For a=1 To 500 : a$+Chr(Random(254)+1) : Next
Debug a$ ; Currently the debugger doesn't show all this.

@netmaestro: Seriously, sometimes the Debug output can be very long, and
without a way to scroll it's pointless. I end up having to code a MessageBox
instead just to see it all.

I just copy if the result is long. And yes the suggestion is good.

Too much extra work, because you lose what's in the clipboard, and then have
to paste it somewhere to view it. Better to just scroll to see it immediately. Can't
see how hard this would be too add -- it's just a window style flag.

Actually it is not... the ListView is a bit weird there and you have to do size calculations manually then.
Anyway, did you try this in the 4.10 beta?

And I actually didn't notice it had a scrollbar now because it doesn't show up
initially -- so I can be forgiven for not noticing it before!

@freak:
I know you're busy just now, but if you could find some time later today to forgive PB that would be great. Thanks!

Which means you didn't actually need this!
