Java Swing文本在文本区域内被弄乱了

Question

I've formatted the result of a query to MySql's style, with all the +----+.

In eclipse, the string looks just as I want, but in my GUI, it is messed up:

Any idea how can I make the text inside the JTextArea the same as inside eclipse?

Answer 1

The text is not messed up, it's just using a non-monospaced font so not all characters have the same width.

Just do this to your TextArea:

textArea.setFont(new Font("Courier New", Font.PLAIN, 12));
