Traces tab with monospaced font in linux

[infidel]

This is no big deal, but having just built 1.52.1 I notice my traces tab is now rendered in the nearly unreadable ubuntu courier new due to this commit. How about defaulting to the logical monospace font (which would map to courier new in Windows anyway, I think?) and is a little easier on the eyes in linux.

Good idea, committed.

Cool!

Thanks!

Btw it's (apparently) possible to customize one's logical font mapping by editing

Code: Select all

$JAVA_HOME/lib/fontconfig.properties

which in ubuntu works out to /usr/lib/jvm/default-java/jre/lib/fontconfig.properties.

If the file doesn't exist in your setup, copy fontconfig.properties.src (which hopefully does exist) to fontconfig.properties and edit that, more details here.
