I'm creating a GUI application that requires the user to provide lots of numeric data. What is the best font to display the user's data? I assume that a mono-spaced font would be better in this case, as multiple lines will have the same number of characters.
My favorite is Consolas
I'd probably go sans serif monospace.
What other fonts are you using for the rest of the application? If the answer is "Arial", "Arial Monospace" is probably the matching font for the numbers.
courier/courier new also looks better.
anything monospace will be fine.
Agreed on monospace but let the USER choose which one and the size - you have to set one by default
I'm a fan of Lucida Console or PT Mono.

I am trying to convert a pdf to text, and als extract the color information of the text.
I am trying to do this in golang, but using a command line tool I call from golang is absolutely acceptable.
I found pdftotext from poppler-utils, and its almost perfect. Only, it does not give me the color information.
I tried github.com/ledongthuc/pdf, which also does not give me color information.
Is there some other tool? Am I missing a way to do this with pdftotext?
There is a C++ library called poppler (https://poppler.freedesktop.org), which allows extracting text from PDF Files including color.
There a go bindings here: https://github.com/cheggaaa/go-poppler

I have generated a word document (docx) on fly, which contains 2 languages: English and Hindi.
English characters are displayed correctly but Hindi characters are displayed as box [] when you open the document. However when you select the hindi text (box) and re select the font from drop down to Aerial the characters displays.
Well the full document already has Aerial font but for some reason it doesn't display hindi characters when you open it.
I have tried to google for the it but I didn't found any instruction which may solve this issue. Please can anyone advise what is going on here.
It looks like that there is no way to do it. Alternatively, I have changed the font to "Mangal" and it works fine.
Thanks all!
Even I had same issue but it looks like MS WORD has got the solution.
in MS WORD 2007
step 1 - Go to 'Review'
Step 2 - Click on 'Set Language'
Step 3- Select check box 'Detect Language automatically'
Close word file and reopen it :)
Hope it help
try installing Kruti Dev 010 font. It worked for me.

I am new to Textmate 2. I have seen few people using textmate with a reduced opacity of the background color. I am trying to find a way to achieve that, but could not get to anything closer.
I tried tweaking the bundle file for the default theme, but eventually ended up messing the look of the existing theme.
What am I missing here. Do I need any other bundle to achieve it? How do I get a transparency in the background?
Ah! yes I now get it!... I guess its different in Textmate2. All you need to do is to goto the bundle editor and change the value of background in settings.
For example if the value of background is #141414 then append the hex value of the desired transparency. For example you want the opacity to be 62.8% then you can change the value to be #141414A1.
0xA1 = 161
161/256 = 62.8%

I'm looking for a library, or a strategy, that can be used, ideally in conjunction with Ruby/Nokogiri, to determine the layout location of items on a web page, when viewed in the browser.
For example, in the current page I'm looking at, there is a "Ask Question" button in the top right corner (I am guessing in the header). If, for example, I wanted to see where the all the words "question" are on the page, which would match this word, and other places hat have the word question, in terms of XY coordinates or pixels, how would I do that?
I clearly have to load the CSS. But, what else?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
The Watir project might be able to help, as it talks directly to the browser, allowing you to get information about a page after the browser has finished rendering it. You'll need to look through the API to see if you can get the pixel locations for elements.
Pixel locations will be difficult though, because those are tied to font sizes and a real-human user could have something that is overriding the settings applied by the CSS. The information you get from a browser in your testing could vary wildly from what a real user would see. That might, or might not, be an issue for you.

Really all I need is 2 columns. The first column will have some text and the second column needs to have a combo box in it which will allow users to pick from it.
Bonus if the control is free.
Have you checked out the S-Grid from VBAccelerator?
Got a good performance comparison too - article.
Isn't this what datagrid provides in VB6?
We use the VSFlexGrid, IIRC written by the people who wrote the MSFlexGrid which ships with Visual Studio but with more features, including in-cell combos.
On another project I wrote code to 'fake it' using a hidden combo and the free MSFlexGrid: in the grid's _Click event, move and size the combo to fit the cell (taking account of scroll bars if necessary), set the ZOrder (bring to front), make Visible and SetFocus.
Janus Grid (http://www.janusys.com/janus/library/HTMLFiles/GridEX2000/GridEX2000.htm), supports this, but it is not free
Component One makes an all-powerful grid that we used all over the place. It's a great tool and we are very satisfied with it.
Easy to use; extremely well thought out.
Good help and documentation.
It just works; we have not had any problems.
The properties and methods make sense and do exactly what they're supposed to.

Here are some screen caps of the grid in our application:

Here's a free grid that is implemented as a single-file control with no dependencies. it is reasonably light weight and easy to implement.
LynxGrid
Know one more good 3rd-party grid control like FlexGrid. It's not free, but enough cheap and is still supported. It's iGrid from 10tec: http://10tec.com/activex-grid/
By the way, it's 1st version was based on vbAccelerator SGrid, but now it goes its own way ;)
