What are some of the fixed width fonts available in the Windows operating system? Are there any free fonts available? What are the advantages and disadvantages of using fixed width fonts?Fixed width fonts are fonts that have a constant character width, meaning each character takes up the same amount of horizontal space. This makes it easier to align text, as the characters are all the same size. Windows comes with a few fixed width fonts, such as Courier New and Consolas. There are also several free fixed width fonts available online, such as Fira Code and Source Code Pro. The main advantage of using a fixed width font is that it makes text easier to read and understand. The main disadvantage is that it can be harder to distinguish between different characters, such as the letter "I" and the number "1".
