Fixed-width font for special inputs
Issue #233
wontfix
A fixed-width font option for input slots would make alignment easier in certain applications (e.g. creating layouts for OLED displays).
Tried using a fixed-width font for all input fields and for all string input fields, but the use of different fonts was visually jarring. This feature should only be used for the rare situation where a fixed width font is needed for 2D layouts (e.g. in an icon generator block).

I don't think the additional complexity of implementing this is worth it for the few cases it might be useful. The work-around is to edit your text in an external text editor with a fixed-width font, then copy-paste it into MicroBlocks.

First attempt that this did not work well so reverted. Next attempt will be a "fixed width string" input slot type for the rare cases where it would be useful.
