Hi,

I am not sure if this is an actual bug or if I am just missing some
new setting/configuration option, but when in a graphical emacs window
org-mode table alignments are way off, yet when in a 'terminal' window
emacs session tables are shown as expected. 

Just as I am not sure if this is a bug, I am not sure if it is in
org-mode or emacs itself, so I apologise if this is not the right list
for this.  I have tried searching on-line for an answer but have nto
been able to find this which is why I believe I might just be missing
a setting somewhere that I did not need before.

I am attaching my .emacs file as well as a screen shot showing the
issue I am speaking of.  In the screen shot the window on the left is
a graphical instance of emacs, and the one on the right is started
from a terminal window (emacs -nw --no-desktop).  Both are using the
same file.

My emacs version is: 24.3.1 (x86_64-slackware-linux-gnu with GTK+
version 2.24.17

I am currently using an older version of org-mode as I try to
reconfigure my custom latex document classes over to the newer
version.  Org mode version is: 7.8.11

I have tested this with the newest org-mode version as well though and
received the same results as I currently get.  


Thank you in advance for any assistance, and I again apologise if this
is not the correct list for this.

Sincerely,

David Rose

Hello,

We are kicking off a project to document our common storage usage.  We will
also highlight the cost.  Quantifying the cost will hopefully incentivize us
all to determine if we really need what is being stored.

 

We would like to document for each project who is the owner  (manager) and the
name of project using it.

 

You are receiving this mail because you were one of the last people writing in
this directory so I really would appreciate your help.

 

For the “%^{Directory}” directory I would need to know:

·         Project:

·         Owner / Manager:

 

Data is from %^{Date} Can be archived offline or is still in use ?

 

 

Many thanks for your co-operation

Hello,

It seems that you are using a proportional font (different width for each 
character) as opposed to a monospace one. For example, compare the width of 
'<' on line 2 with the 'J' below.

Table alignment usually works by ensuring all cells in a column contain the 
same number of characters, but that only works for monospace fonts.

The terminal is using monospace fonts by default.

Hi David,

It will help a lot when you pick a mono-spaced (fixed width) font (courier, monaco, …). The Terminal mode uses such a font, as you can easily see by the width of the letter ‘i’.

Cheers,
Peter.

Thank you Peter.  

I have to admit I do feel stupid for missing the font differences.
That did take care of it.
