Monospace font or not for directory and file names
Subject:Monospace font or not for directory and file names From:Odile Sullivan-Tarazi <odile -at- mindspring -dot- com> To:techwr-l -at- lists -dot- techwr-l -dot- com Date:Wed, 1 Nov 2006 14:15:13 -0800
Another research question. Actually two.
Are many of you dropping the use of monospace font for directory and
file names?
And a follow-on question -- if not, are you applying italics for
variable portions of the names on top of the monspace font or are you
using straight italics (sans the monospace)? I assume that if you're
using straight italics for variables in code, you're using the same
convention for variables in directory and file names. Unless you've
dropped the monospace font for these, of course.
