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
Now to find some fonts that are more appealing....

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