FAQ

How do I make Safari use a fixed width font in HTML textarea elements?

You'll want to use a custom stylesheet. First, create a file, say ~/custom.css and just put one line in it

textarea {font-family: Monaco !important}

Save it. Then in Safari, open Preferences, navigate to the Advanced tab, and select your stylesheet. The change should go into effect right away
