There is a new useful feature for reading the Usenet posts in Google
Groups. The vast majority of newsgroup members use GROUPS.GOOGLE.COM to
post and read on the Internet pioneering service, Usenet.
One drawback of the Google service, very useful otherwise, is the
default font. It is a proportional font (of variable-width, that is). >Youngbloods, keep in mind, however, that initially Usenet was written
and shown in a monospace font. It was the ubiquitous Courier, borrowed
from the good ole typewriter. I know, many youngsters don’t even know
what a typewriter is!
Very importantly, my software generates outcomes (e.g. lottery numbers, >statistical reports, etc.) in monospace-font format. Many readers had
some trouble viewing the output of my software. We used a workaround: >copy-and-paste the Usenet reports to Notepad for better viewing. It
hasn’t worked well for the most part.
And now a good Samaritan came up with the best solution. The posts in
the good ol’ Usenet can be acceptably viewed in Google groups. A
change in the cascading style in the browser shows the posts in a
monospace font (e.g. Courier). I exhaled a big sigh of relief!
• https://groups.google.com/g/comp.lang.forth/c/qW5U1xmla_0/m/xSI3W02dBQAJ
• “Monospace font in Google Groups”.
The operation works in two browsers. I had 100% success with Google
Chrome (version 112) and Mozilla Firefox (version 111). What is
Microsoft Edge waiting for?!
Following please find detailed and clear instructions.
CHROME:
• In Tools on the toolbar, click More tools, then Extensions. Click
the 3-bar button at the top left to open the Extensions menu; at the
bottom, click ‘Open Chrome Web Store’. In ‘Search the store’,
type Stylus. Click on app’s name to add to Chrome.
• After installation, click on the Extensions button on Toolbar, click >on Stylus, then Pin to toolbar.
FIREFOX:
• In Tools on the toolbar, click Addon and tools, Extensions (in the >left panel), Find more addons, search for Stylus; in Search results,
click on Stylus, then Add to Firefox.
• After installation, click on the Extensions button on Toolbar, click >on Stylus, then Pin to toolbar.
How to add viewing with a monospace font (e.g. Courier) –
1.– Open a Google group in the Chrome or Firefox browser. For
example, the address bar should read >https://groups.google.com/g/rec.sport.soccer?hl=en for this soccer
newsgroup.
2.– Click the Stylus button on the toolbar (e.g. S in a square)
3.– Check the option box ‘Write style for’
4.– The U button appears; e.g. groups.google.com/This URL
5.– Click on the URL (it should be HTML-activated)
6.– Go to the bottom section that reads ‘URLs on this domain’
7.– Copy-and-paste the following code snippet (overwrite the lines 9,
10, 11):
div[role=region] {
font-family: Consolas, Courier, monospace;
display: block;
max-width: 60em;
white-space: pre-wrap;
}
div[role="region"] br {
display: none;
}
8.– You see the code you copied was moved up to the section ‘/* >==UserStyle==’
9.– Click Save in the left panel (‘Add Style’)
10.– Close the window/tab (e.g. >https://groups.google.com/g/rec.sport.soccer?hl=en)
11.– Reopen the window/tab; the new viewing style is in effect.
I subscribe to several Google groups. I notice that adding Stylus to one >newsgroup, automatically changes the viewing to monospace in ALL my
favorite groups.
May Usenet live forever!
