    When inserting a code block, the resulting font is not adhering to the <PRE> HTML spec in that the font is still a proportional font: 

    SELECT A.Product,
       A.Type,
       A.Indication,
       A.Strength,
       A.Year,
       A.Quarter,
       A.Month, 
       A.Sales_Volume,
       COALESCE(B.Sales_Volume,0) as TRX_VOLUME_LAST_MONTH
       
  FROM myTable as A
  
  LEFT JOIN myTable as B
    ON A.Product = B.Product
   AND A.Type = B.Type
   AND A.Indication = B.Indication
   AND A.Strength = B.Strength
   AND A.Year = B.Year
   AND A.Month = B.Month - 1;

    The above, by the way, looks correct in the editor BEFORE I post, so something between creating the post and actually posting it is changing the font.  A CSS issue?

    This is what I would expect it to look like (including the border around the code block, and with colored language keywords as appropriate):

    Turns out this is a browser issue...  Sigh...

    Here's how it renders in Chrome:

    Yes it is a browser/system issue.

    My laptop shows all code blocks as Courier New, but a computer at a client site shows it as Arial.

    Both use IE8 (8.0.6001.18702).

    Both have Tools -> Internet Options -> General -> Fonts set to "Courier New" set for "Plain Text Font". 

    Both have Tools -> Internet Options -> General -> Accessibility with all checkboxes unchecked.

    Comes out proportional for me on both IE8 and Firefox.

    I'm pretty sure this is a forum issue.
