Formatting broken for pre tags on OS X (and a fix)
« on: March 13, 2011, 02:04:54 am »
The layout of diagrams/schematics/etc (anything in a pre tag) in the wiki is broken on OS X.

Here's a user script that replaces all pre tags' fonts with "Andale Mono". It works in Firefox with Greasemonkey, Opera & Chrome out-of-the-box and probably anything else that supports user scripts (though I didn't test Safari).

Before:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

After:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The script (save as whatever.user.js and install as per your browser's instructions):

Unfortunately, not everybody has that font - despite being bundled with MacOS X, modern versions of Windows (i.e. those released after 1999) use Lucida Console instead.

It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.

Which isn't an issue because the alignment of the characters within pre tags is fine for Windows users. Only OS X users should install this user script.

The issue was that Briess had installed this directly into the wiki's CSS (i.e. for everybody) and broken the PRE tag for all Windows users; fortunately, fixing it was as simple as adding a ", monospace".
