Hi!
I am building long tables full of data, and think it would be better to use fixed-width fonts.
1. Which font would you recomend?
2. How can I set a fixed-widht type font for the whole document?
Thanks!

Hi,

I like the monospaced font Inconsolata:

Regarding your second question, you could write in your preamble:

Code: Select all

\renewcommand*{\familydefault}{\ttdefault}
