monospace font #76
Comments
Thanks @gauvins2 :D I put this one into our to do list. Just to be clear, I think what you are suggesting is called "Tabular figures", which means we don't need to use a completely monospace fonts (like in code editor) but only apply the "monospace feature" to numeric characters (like in Excel or Google Sheet or the TablePlus Mac app) In other words, "1" will have the same width as "2", but "i" still have a smaller width than "w" This is actually what we are doing in the TablePlus Mac app already, and it's simpler because the default font (San Francisco) does support this feature. On Linux, however, it's a little bit more complicated because each distro has its own default font (e.g. Ubuntu, Cantarell, Open Sans, etc.) and we can't be sure if they support "Tabular figures". Maybe we will just embed a good font. |
Actually, monospace could be a useful option, but tabular as a default would probably do. ps -- coming from Mac, moving to a Linux box. Ecstatic to discover that there's a Linux version of your client. Looking forward to be able to purchase a Linux license to support your team :) ps2 -- is there a suggestion thread somewhere? |
The TablePlus Mac app allows choosing a custom font, so we are considering it in the Linux app too :D
There isn't a thread, but feel free to create issue for anything you want to suggest At the moment we are trying to bring major functionalities from the Mac app to here |
Hi @gauvins2 , we've just checked on Ubuntu 20 and it seems we have monospace digits in all places: Can you tell us (or have a screenshot) where the font is not monospace in your case? |
Hello Thien
see below. Neither text nor numbers are monospace. I couldn't find font
settings. Terminal is set (by default I think) to Fira Mono Regular. (I
actually run Pop_OS, a Ubuntu-based distro that is compatible
out-of-the-box with Trx40 systems.
Thanks for following up
Stéphane

Can you tell us (or have a screenshot) where the font is not monospace in
your case?

Database version (Ex: PostgreSQL 10.0):
MySQL 8.0.21
TablePlus version (the number on the welcome or about screen, Ex: build 81):
Aplha build 62
Linux distro (Ex: Ubuntu 18.04):
Ubuntu 20.04
default font isn't monospace, which makes it difficult to interpret data (ex: 2222222222 seems to be one or two orders of magnitude larger than 1111111111)
