how to make ui align correctly

[danielgoldin]

I am a non-programmer using citar for academic papers. I can't seem to get the citar ui to align corectly. I'm running emacs 19. Here are my settings:

(use-package citar
:no-require
:custom
(org-cite-global-bibliography '("~/org-roam/bibliography/refernces.bib"))
(org-cite-insert-processor 'citar)
(org-cite-follow-processor 'citar)
(org-cite-activate-processor 'citar)
(citar-bibliography org-cite-global-bibliography)
;; optional: org-cite-insert is also bound to C-c C-x C-@
:bind
(:map org-mode-map :package org ("C-c b" . #'org-cite-insert))
:hook
(LaTeX-mode . citar-capf-setup)
(org-mode . citar-capf-setup))

Here's what my ui looks like:

Thanks for nay help.

It's because you're using a proportional font, and the UI depends on a monospace for alignment.

There may be ways for us to fix this so more general, but it would depend on a feature unavailable before Emacs 30 IIRC.

Bottom line for now: you want to change your font, at least for completion, to fix it.

Ah, I thought as much. Any advice -- or example code -- for fixing just for completion.

Looks like you need to customize the minibuffer-prompt face.

Thanks. That didn't work but I am happy with Inconsolata font as the default font. On 2024-05-25 at 12:34 -07, bdarcus ***@***.***> wrote...
