[SOLVED] Fixed pitched font

On my maintain form, I build a stack of concatenated multiple data elements for a description for use in a drop-down box.
But when I display the concatenated fields using MS Sans Serif, the length varies. I want to "line up" each field in my concantenated drop down list.

When I use the "Courier New" font (monospaced fixed-pitched font), the list lines up the concatenated fields.

But "Courier New" does not display well on the screen.
Are ther any other similiar (monospaced fixed-pitched) fonts that display better on the screen than Courier New?

There are many that come with windows or you can down load.

Do a google search on non proportional fonts

I seem to remember that Lucida Console works. The font has to be on all client machines.

I must admit I ended up with Courier New under the same circumstances, was horrible.

Lucidia Console seemed to be the best alternative. Thanks for the suggestion.

Looks much better than Courier New.
