Fixed width fonts

[phipslk]

Is it possible to tell FontRequest() only show fixed witdth fonts?

no

but maybe, as a workaround, you can compare FontWidth("IJ1") with FontWidth("OWM") to see if it equal ?

I think this uses a font requester from the operating system underneath. For example, the font requester in MorphOS does have an option to show only Fixed Width fonts (or bitmap fonts or unicode fonts etc.). So FontRequest() with Hollywood on MorphOS does have this option already.

that would be a nice command, FontWidth(). I take dimensions of a TextObject with the letter and GetAttribute() for size measuring

I think on AmigaOS 3.x this is an option too. But I can't set it as default via Hollywood.

No need to create a text object, just use TextWidth() or TextExtent().
