I haven't accessed NOAA reports in MX since making the transition from Cumulus 1 (for the better I must say) but am having a hard time interpreting the annual reports in particular - the columns becoming progressively misaligned on my system.
Example attached.
Cheers!

It doesn't look like you're using a fixed-width font?! Otherwise, known as monospaced.

Thanks, I guess that's why.

Does the default Windows font need changing? Seems that requires to be done through the registry, which I'm not comfortable doing :(

Which browser are you using? The report is included within <pre> tags which should use a mono-spaced font by default.

Have you changed the default fonts on your browser - in particular the "fixed width font" or whatever it is called in your browser?

Thanks Mark, that put me on the right track.
I replaced the default font in Firefox to one with mono as suffix and it all fell into line :D
Now to find some fonts that are more appealing....

I use Consolas which I think is the default in Edge.
