Programmatic Check For Monospace Font?

3 views (last 30 days)
I'm looking for a method to programmatically check if the console font in use is a monospace font. I want to print a warning that my script's ouput may not look correct if a monospace font is not in use. Can this be done?

listeners=com.mathworks.mde.cmdwin.CmdWinDocument.getInstance().getDocumentListeners();
listeners(3).getFont()

Your solution didn't quite work for me, but led me to find a viable answer. I decided to simply force the font to be Monospaced at the top of my script, as shown below. Thanks for the link!
com.mathworks.services.Prefs.setFontPref('CommandWindow',java.awt.Font('Monospaced',java.awt.Font.PLAIN))

Some day I'll have to figure out what the difference is between .services and .mlservices and .mde and ....

I do not see one at the moment, but if a way exists it might be found under com.mathworks.mlservices
