Proportional fonts in SAP MII Workbench

[former_member1338085]

It was whose idea to use proportional fonts (characters with variable-width) in the SAP MII Workbench??

Is it possible at least to change it to courier or something..?

Did you try adjusting font properties in the workbench settings dialog? Workbench Settings - SAP MII Workbench - SAP Library

if I change the font then the changes will also be visible for other users or only for me?

It would only be for you Tibor.

ok thanks, but I still think it was a bad idea to use proportional fonts as default (problems with indenting)...

Sorry Tibor, I quite couldn't get what are you trying to achieve. Can you explain it in a little detail.

Thanks,

Consider the following assignments:

var someVariable = 'value1';

var another            = 'anotherValue';

var stuff                   = 'val';

var v1                       = 'sadfsdfasdf';

Now, if I change the font type in MII to non-proportional, it will look like this:

var someVariable = 'value1';

var another            = 'anotherValue';

var stuff                   = 'val';

var v1                       = 'sadfsdfasdf';

That is the problem. I'm maintaining existing code that was formatted when using font type 'Dialog', but I exported the source code and I'm using my favourite text editor. And every normal text editor uses non-proportional fonts. If I align the equation marks in my text editor then the source code will slide using the default font, so I cannot save changes in the MII.

Hi Tibor,

You have an option as "Monospaced". You cn make use of it to switch to non-proportional fonts.

PFB the screen grab.

Thanks,

Sorry Swaroop, you didn't get my problem. I can change the font type certainly, but other users will still have the 'Dialog' font on their systems. And then if I edit the file and save changes using 'Monospaced' font then the source code will be bad-aligned on their screens.

That is the problem that the default font is proportional.

yup, for that I don't have a solution at least right now.

This is a problem that cannot be solved here. That is why i'm sending my greetings to the big-brain who decided to use proportional fonts as default. I would not even allow to use proportional fonts in the settings.
