Different the width of whitespace in eclipse editor

I set my editor use the whitespace only, but I got problem with the whitespace's width. The longer whitespace in blank lines, shorter in others. I have no idea how t开发者_如何学Goo configure it.

You are using a variable width font. Change it to a fixed width font like Courier New/Consolas/Monaco/Menlo (depending on your preferences)

Go to Eclipse->Preferences->General->Appearance->Colors and Fonts->Structured Text Editors->Structured Text Editor font and set it to a fixed width font

If you do want to use a variable width font, just make all those fonts/colors use the same size.

Monospaced fonts are only used because editors still don't support relatively recent inventions like elastic tabstops which results in the type of issue you highlight. That plus habit.

I personally find that variable width fonts look so much better and increase the readability so much that they're totally worth it.
