Monospaced "field edit window"
 

Once, before the sneaky peaks, I was able to set OW to use a monospaced font for the "field edit window" (whatever the name is), but now I can't find how I did it :( ... so, how do I do this?

The font in your zoomed editor should be whatever you specify for Font Style in your "Page Appearance" preferences or site preferences.

For some reason, Bitstream Vera Sans Mono does not work. I use it in TextMate and BBEdit all the time. Any ideas why?

I thought this was set by using the fonts palette.

Do you always default back to the regular typeface? It seems that selecting different typefaces doesn't work correctly.

Yes, this will do the trick!

No, the font in the source view prefs pane correctly shows "Bitstream Vera Sans Mono 11.0", but the source view window shows what looks like Geneva or Lucida Grande. All other fonts work OK, like Monaco or ProFont.

You can get the font [URL="http://www.dafont.com/download/?os=win&file=bitstream_vera_mono"]here[/URL], among other places.

Thanks, I missed that we were talking about the source editor. It looks like some fonts (including Bitstream Vera Sans Mono) wont display in the source view like they should. We do have an open bug on this issue.
