<< You may have noted that Squeak's default font has different widths for
 $1 and all other digits. IMHO, all digits should have the same width so
 that they line up nicely when displayed in columns.
 Here is a snippet which fixes the situation: >>

The more general problem is how to get a monospaced font access for display. 
I have a pretty decent hex editor (an improvement on released hex processing) 
in MVC, but I haven't fooled with the font stuff in Squeak. The editor 
results really only look good when the text pane can be presented in mono. 
How hard is it to get a basic monospaced font (say good old basic TrueType 
Courier New) to be used in a text window in MVC?

It's conceivable that Hans-Martin's approach could be applied to the entire 
font, but this does seem a little like killing a fly with a hammer.
