UX: Use monospace font where it make sense. #174

Closed epasveer closed 10 months ago

epasveer commented 10 months ago

The "Value" column of the "Logger"/"Tracker"/"Locals"/"Registers"/"Arguments"/"Watchpoints" views should maybe always be in monospace. It looks uglier but I can't think of any scenario where a non-monospace font has benefits beyond just possibly look slightly nicer, and there are plenty scenarios like differentiating zero 0 and big o O, counting number of spaces, and more where a non-monospace font becomes a huge hassle.

Now in "main".

There is a little bit of a Matrix Glitch. The baseline on the monospace text is a pixel or two higher than the baseline of the regular text. I suspect it matters on what font you have selected in your desktop as Seer/Qt relies on the external font settings.
