The latest announcement at Gmail blog covers some of the experimental features (Gmail Labs) that will graduate the Labs, or, in other words, will become a part of the Gmail service, and some features that will retire, or, in other words, will be completely removed. Â While usually changes like this don’t affect myself much, this time I am in the minority. Â That is, I am using one of those features that will be retired – Fixed Width Font.
A lot of my emails have to do with coding and from automated scripts that send me the output. Â These make much more sense when displayed with fixed width font. Â Vertical alignment, tabulation levels, and simple table-like structures – these all break horribly when viewed with variable width font. Â Too bad that’s how I’ll have to look at it now.
