What monospace fonts are available in Python and Tkinter?


I have seen the term 'monospace' at dozen of places. Can you tell me what does monospace font mean and what monospace fonts are available in Python and Tkinter?


Solution

  • "Monospace" just means that all characters take the same, fixed width for each character.

    The converse is a "proportional" font where narrower letters e.g i take less space and wider letters e.g. m take more space.

    Which ones are available depend on what you have installed.
