New Tag Request: Equal Spaced Font (Courier New)

Thread starter Hurkyl
Start date Jan 4, 2005

AI Thread Summary

A request was made for a simpler tag for equal spaced fonts like Courier New, suggesting alternatives such as [tt] or [t]. Users expressed that the current method, using [FONT = Courier New], is too lengthy. One participant pointed out that the pull-down font menu can be used instead of typing the tag. The discussion highlights the desire for more efficient formatting options. The need for a streamlined tagging system for equal spaced fonts remains a topic of interest.

Anyway, I finally got a paper on the same matter as discussed in those forum threads, the fat lens model, got it peer-reviewed, and IJRAP...

Thread 'Thank you physics forums, 20 years later'

About 20 years ago, in my mid-30s (and with a BA in economics and a master's in business), I started taking night classes in physics hoping to eventually earn the science degree I'd always wanted but never pursued. I found physics forums and used it to ask questions I was unable to get answered from my textbooks or class lectures. Unfortunately, work and life got in the way and I never got further the freshman courses. Well, here it is 20 years later. I'm in my mid-50s now, and in a...
