A big +1 on being able to select a monospace typeface *anywhere* I want to display in a GT
Inspector tab, e.g. both as part of a list/tree or as an extra tab for a bytestring.
I am starting to look at code in languages where x-offset is crucial and I have not looked
at this in detail yet. I guess it should be possible, since GT uses a monospace font in
its source code pane of the 'Meta' tab.

Hi,
By default there is no support for right-justified columns in Glamour.
But have a look at the glamour presentation based on fast table. With that presentation
the #column:evaluated: method can also return a morph, not just a string. It might be
possible to return a morph that aligns the content to the right.
Thanks for that tip!
What do you mean by fixed-width font? Do you have an example of what you'd like to
do?
If you have HTML enabled in your email client then I can demonstrate right here.
I would like to be able to format semi-structured text in a fixed-width font for neat
alignment like this:
---- TRACE 1 start stdin:1
0006 MULVN 0 0 1 ; -3
0007 FORL 1 => 0006
---- TRACE 1 IR
.... SNAP #0 [ ---- ]
0001 rbp int SLOAD #2 CI
0002 xmm7 > num SLOAD #1 T
0003 xmm7 + num MUL 0002 -3
0004 rbp + int ADD 0001 +1
.... SNAP #1 [ ---- 0003 ]
0005 > int LE 0004 +1000
.... SNAP #2 [ ---- 0003 0004 ---- ---- 0004 ]
0006 ------------ LOOP ------------
0007 xmm7 + num MUL 0003 -3
0008 rbp + int ADD 0004 +1
.... SNAP #3 [ ---- 0007 ]
and I would like to avoid presenting it with a variable-width font and wonky alignment
like this:
---- TRACE 1 start stdin:1
0006 MULVN 0 0 1 ; -3
0007 FORL 1 => 0006
---- TRACE 1 IR
.... SNAP #0 [ ---- ]
0001 rbp int SLOAD #2 CI
0002 xmm7 > num SLOAD #1 T
0003 xmm7 + num MUL 0002 -3
0004 rbp + int ADD 0001 +1
.... SNAP #1 [ ---- 0003 ]
0005 > int LE 0004 +1000
.... SNAP #2 [ ---- 0003 0004 ---- ---- 0004 ]
0006 ------------ LOOP ------------
0007 xmm7 + num MUL 0003 -3
0008 rbp + int ADD 0004 +1
.... SNAP #3 [ ---- 0007 ]
I realize that I could parse the structure of this text and e.g. present it with a
fastTreeTable but I suspect this won't work very well when the structure of the data
is not entirely uniform between rows.
