Sep 20, 2012 at 14:38 comment added celtschk Is there an easy way to get the font description of the actually used font (so that you can check whether this is due to Mathematica or due to Linux fonts)?

Sep 19, 2012 at 21:44 comment added halirutan @b.gatessucks Yes, this makes sense in this scenario. Usually, in Courier all letters should have the same width. In Linux, some letters are wider than others. While the difference between "Z" and "_" is very large, the width of "A" and "Z" seem to be equal. Therefore, your examples look ok.
Sep 19, 2012 at 18:55 comment added b.gates.you.know.what @halirutan I get a similar output to yours, however changing the second line Style["ZZZZZZZZZZ\nAAAAAAAAAA", 20, FontFamily -> "Courier"] or Style["ZZZZZZZZZZ\n0123456789", 20, FontFamily -> "Courier"] seem to be good. Does it make sense ?
Sep 19, 2012 at 16:32 comment added halirutan @ruebenko maybe glue is really necessary here to put the letters together.
Sep 19, 2012 at 5:39 comment added user21 Well I don't have glue, but no clue either ;-)
Sep 19, 2012 at 4:52 comment added user21 I see the same issue, but to a much lesser degree (also on Linux-x86-64). The first example is almost not noticeable to the eye and for the last I get: {{18, 53}, {19, 3}, {20, 1}, {21, 1}} which is somewhat better. I have no glue where this comes from, though.
