- The Monaco TrueType font contains an error. Monaco is supposed to be a
- monospaced font, but the characters do not align correctly. The space
- character is printed at different widths, throwing off character alignment.
- I have observed this under System 7.0, 7.0.1, and 7.1. The problem occurs
- on the ImageWriter II, StyleWriter II, and LaserWriter. The programs I
- have tried are BBEdit, Microsoft Word 4.0 (with or without fractional
- widths), and WriteNow 3.0 (with or without fractional widths).
-
- Here is an example. Note that the '{' characters are aligned with the first
- character of the previous line. But when this is printed, the '{'
- character is shifted to the left.
-
- for (j = 0L; j < si[i]->memcnt - 2; j += 3)
- {
- for (k = 0L, val = 0L; k < 3; ++k)
- {
- val <<= 2;
- switch (seq[j+k])
- { case 'C':
- case 'c':
