		yellowbkpk on May 25, 2011 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Top Programming Fonts All of these fonts look cool, but in Eclipse on Linux (and other GTK-based text editors), the font renderer adds a few pixels to the width for bold text, which screws up the monospacing. Has anyone been able to figure out a way to disable this? Example from Eclipse: http://i.imgur.com/F3PhS.png

There is some discussion on this bug report, and a possible temporary fix. https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=69253
