Variable-width font for editing SQL does not make sense.

It seems this happens only when language is set to SQL.

for each language we assign a query editor, so fonts could be different from editor to editor

you can change fonts for SQL editor, go to Preferences->Jaspersoft Studio->Editors->SQL Query Editor Syntax Coloring

I don't see why variable-width font does not make sense for SQL, can you give me a strong argument?

Serious???

Do you think any programming language, where you need to indent things, make sense with variable width fonts?

I don't see any other IDE/tool doing that other than the horrible Oracle Reports, the tool we were just replacing with iReport.

we use standard eclipse fonts, if you don't like this fonts, you can configure them

personally I also use a lot tabs to format SQL Queries and I don't see any problem with variable-width fonts, maybe I get used with it
