Hi,
I was breaking my head over why the indentation/tabs in VIM/NANO does not match GEDIT/PLUMA. Its a programming nightmare.
As you might have guessed its the "fonts". Seems fixed width either isn't or my understanding of "fonts" in general is just slacking. I feel like a complete moron.
However, the solution is to install a proper font which is in the repo, yay!
sudo apt install fonts-inconsolata
Inside GEDIT/PLUMA goto in the menu and select:
- preferences
- select fonts tab
- untick fixed lettertype
- select Incosolata font
- select fontsize 14
and you're done
EDIT:
Almost forgot, my tabsize=8 and I don't replace them with spaces.
