Monospace font

[mhkeller]

It would be nice if you had the option of making the data preview show up in a monospace font. It makes it easy to see if your columns are equal length or if you have any weird aberrations.

I'm modifying this locally for now. I'd be happy to do a PR or do it as a separate theme. I thought Inconsolata was the most legible

@import url(https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Inconsolata);

and then

  --hypergrid--font-size: 15px;
  --hypergrid-header--font-size: 15px;
  --hypergrid--font-family: "Inconsolata";
  --hypergrid-header--font-family: "Inconsolata";

that would have to be a custom theme.

Can you attach a pic to show what you mean by equal length columns without any weird abbreviations?

Other than the font itself, I don't see how those changes would adjust columns display.

I just mean, it's often useful to spot check data that should all have, say, a three-character code, by visually scanning to see if any don't align. Here, it's easy to see that there is an extra I character in a monospace font.

three_character_id,value
AAA,10
AAAI,10
BBB,10
CCC,10
CCCI,10

I can put a custom theme together. I can do a monospace variation of each of the existing ones if that doesn't get too complicated.

oh, I see. If you do create a custom monospace theme, please do both dark and light.

Light is default and dark themes just use .dark.css file naming convention.

@mhkeller do you mind if we close this ticket?

I will be updating data preview dependencies soon, and some of the above might not work with the new perspective viewer grid.

[mhkeller]

Yeah all good!
