Not(e) Worth It

Have you ever had situation where you copied something (usually from a command line terminal) that's aligned and paste it, and find that it's not aligned anymore?   This is because command line terminals usually use a fixed-width font, but the default font in Windows is usually not. A fixed-width font (also called monospaced font ) means that every character in the font will always have the same width. Hence, lines would always align.    See this example where 10 '.' and 10 numbers are used: Fixed-width (Consolas) .......... 0123456789 Non fixed-width (Arial) .......... 0123456789 So the simple solution for the aforementioned scenario is just to change the font where you paste it and viola, your text is aligned again.   A few of my favourite fixed w idth fonts: Consolas (comes with Windows), Bitstream Vera Sans Mono . Also notable: Courier New, Ubuntu Sans Mono , Inconsolata .

If you're a PC gamer it's almost inconceivable you don't have Steam. Did you know it's actually skinnable? My favourite is the Metro for Steam skin. Give it a try if you like the look, it's very easy to use and the download website also offers customization options.
