This is kind of annoying when you are using the script editor, because some of the control codes show as a space. I've tried 6.35 and 7.04. Already the 'mIRC fonts', but to no avail. http://www.mircscripts.org/comments.php?cid=2892 Is there a font that will show all the non-alphanumeric characters? Thanks. Code: echo -s test 12 $+ testurl Last edited by STING; 13/06/10 11:52 AM.

I used to use Verdana, but now that I'm using Unicode in things, I want to see it correctly, so I switched over to Arial Unicode MS. I like Calibri as well. I've never been a fan of the style of fonts like Consolas, so that shows how the font choice depends on the individual since hixxy does like that one. Just try them until you find one that you like.

Just try them until you find one that you like. I asked the question, not because I'm simply curious about the font usage, but about font usage which shows the control-codes properly on Windows 7. IBMPC does that, but I am looking for another font that shows the control-codes, while still being a nice looking font.
