    That's the problem with proportional fonts (i.e., the majority of
bitmap and Truetype fonts).  Characters are not of a fixed-width, so the
horizontal spacing is very easily messed up.

    You could try bolding PC Monospaced to make it thicker on screen.  I
personally use Courier 10.  It is possible to display Shaston as a
monospaced font.  Perhaps that could be an option in a future
ShadowWrite.
