Please make the result grid font selectable or change the default to an accurate monospaced font like Courrier New Currently it is difficult to inspect content as demonstrated in the attachemnt
The attachment shows several rows each containing exactly 8 characters,
Double clicking and "make Editable" provide a means to place the cursor and cout the characters, but these extra steps are time consuming if many rows must be checked.
Reviewing results would be more efficient if a visual inspection were possible.
I can agree to the "make the result grid font selectable", which I interpret as requesting a 5th entry in the Fonts tab under Global Preferences to exclusively handle the font for the result grid. Currently it is lumped into the "Other" group, which I understand the OP already realized.
I disagree with changing established defaults that apparently work reasonably well for all other users for many years now (especially as for me Courier New would need a change, because local characters are not shown in this font on my machine ;-)
See menu File -> Global Preferences -> Tab Fonts and adjust 'Other' fonts to your needs.
Thank you Mr./Heir/Messr. Wagner --- it is what I needed exactly.
It is too bad that comprehensive HELP and/or documentation does not cover
this matter ... if it can be clicked or selected or entered ... It should
be documented

Ok, so I was wrong with "[..] is lumped into the "Other" group, which I understand the OP already realized."
Anyway, if the developers would "[add] a 5th entry in the Fonts tab under Global Preferences to exclusively handle the font for the result grid.", it might be useful for some users?
Otherwise this request should be closed.
Thanks for responding, but the comment is so out of context and incomplete
that I cannot understand what you are trying to communicate.
I believe that via the comments in an earlier response I was able to
configure the result grid font as Courier New. This totally met my need, I
am sorry I bothered the poo-bahs, but there was nil documentation on how to
achieve this font configuration.

PS-I don't see a way to communicate "this request should be closed" , but
indeed it should be.

I appologize if I came accross that you didn't RTFM, because your point of poor manuals is absolutely valid.
If the configuration menus are intuitive to new users, this lack of documentation could be tolerated (at least to some extent).
IMO your initial request was useful, because it pointed out a certain weakness in a configuration menu. It is up to the developers now whether they are going to act upon your suggestion.
