Hi Eugenio, sorry you are experiencing problems with a monospaced font in version 29. Thus far I have been unable to reproduce this issue.
May I ask a few questions please:
- Are you running Stats 29 for MacOS or Windows when this occurs?
- Is the problem with monospaced fonts in the Output Viewer or with exported output?
- If the problem is with exported output, what file format are you exporting to?
- What is your SPSS Locale set to when this happens? There are special font mappings for far eastern character sets.
Note that the Statistics UI runs in a Java VM. Java maps the logical "Monospaced" font to the following physical fonts, depending upon your current locale:
monospaced.plain.alphabetic=Courier New
monospaced.plain.chinese-ms950=MingLiU
monospaced.plain.hebrew=David
monospaced.plain.japanese=MS Gothic
monospaced.plain.korean=GulimChe
Best regards,

Thank you, Jon.
Attached is the file referenced.
I still use v27, so I have no problems.
The font issue is being reported by users of programs we distribute that creates output using REPORT.

I didn't see any attachment, but it seems that the mono font the Viewer uses by default has a different width for space from other glyphs.
You might try IBM Plex Mono, which looks nicer than Courier.

Hi,
I am noticing that in v29, the table in the attached does not display properly when using the "Monospaced" font. I have to switch the font for text output to "Courier New" to get proper spacing. The attached was created with v27 and it displays proper spacing with either "Monospaced" or "Courier New" font. I know how to get the table to display properly in v29, but would like the Monospace to work.
Thank you!
Eugene
