iPod Video Notes - Tab Character not interpreted
Hello,
I'm having some difficulty with the formatting of text displayed on the iPod Video.
For some reason, my iPod refuses to interpret the TAB character. It simply omits it, concatenating the adjacent text into one long string. I created text files in nano, saving them in both the default and "mac" modes, as well as in the MAC application "textedit" and neither worked.
An obvious solution would be to use spaces to replace the tabs, however for some reason the iPod appears to use a proportional font, which screws up the alignment.
Can anyone tell me how to get the iPod to see the TABs or to change to a non-propotional font?
