Amen to that! (And have you used the table widget? Yuck!)
I keep hoping that the new True-Type fonts in IDL 5.1
(!P.Font=1) will help, but I haven't tried them as
widget fonts yet and don't even know if it is possible
to make them work this way. Courier is usually found on
all systems, but *finding* it is often a problem. The only
solution, really, is test, test, test on the systems you
expect to run on. And then be ready for the unexpected. :-)

Cheers,

David
