Forum > Editor
[SOLVED] How do I correct this?
linuxbob:
Hello all,
I've done a search on the forum for a solution and haven't found one yet. My editor window has suddenly started displaying the text in this manner. I have tried changing the font; the font does change but the new font also displays like this. I've also tried uninstalling and reinstalling Lazarus with no effect. I am on the latest version.
Suggestions are welcomed.
Thanks.

Check the settings under Editor > Display for Extra character spacing.
Maybe you set it at 2.
See attached image.
linuxbob:
Already checked that. Both extra spacing boxes are set to zero.
Martin_fr:
Choose a monospaced font for the editor.
The editor can only display monospaced. If the font is not monospaced, the editor defines the mono-spaced-grid width as the width of the widest char it finds.
The editor does not look at any attributes of the font. It always verifies a few chars to ensure the font is monospaced.
Among those chars are W and M. But also the @ sign, which in many fonts is even wider than M or W.
Martin_fr:
You can set char-spacing to a negative value.
Then your font may look more normal-ish. But some chars will overlap.....
