Monospace font jumping around

totebo

I'm using a monospace font which counts down a number. Even though it's monospace, its width changes when "thinner" letters are used. Is there a way to keep a monospaced font the same width?

See example attached.

In theory if the character widths are changing.. then it's not really a monospaced font.

That's what I though too, but I think Gideros might be doing its own cheeky kerning? Will try with Courier, that should settle the case.

It looks like your font is not monospace. Or Gideros makes it non-monospace?

I have returned to eat HUMBLE PIE!

I've tested with Courier, which behaves exactly as expected. Sorry to give you this red herring.

Was the font advertised as monospace? You should let the creator know. It annoys me when you buy game asset packs and discover the person who made knows nothing about how to layout sprite sheets and stuff, it's tiresome

Yeah, it was listed as a monospace font. It's quite unlikely the place I downloaded it from was in any way connected to the person who created it, though. I will let someone else fight that battle.
