Hi PietervanderStar,

Thanks for the reply. It disappointing that there is no fix for this problem. I have tried closing and reopening the file and program but that doesn't seem make any difference for me.

I did a quick run through of all of the available fonts and some work better than others.

- "Courier 10 Pitch" and "MathJax_Typewriter" are close. The cursor is just slightly left of the character when you get to the extreme right side of the screen.

- "Noto Sans" and "URW Palladio L" are off by the spcing of one character by the right side of the screen, which is noticeably better then the default font.

- "Nimbus Mono L" has perfect spacing across the entire screen, it's just a slightly odd looking font. Kind of a smaller bold Sans Serif.

Also changing the font size affects the offset error. There is probably some combination that works perfectly.

The slight offset error is annoying but not enough to chase me back to Windows at this point.

Again, thanks to the info.
