 ****************PR Deploy Summary Report****************

Actually when i am copying this from text area and pasting it somewhere else then its agian showing it properly in tabular format.But its not displaying it properly on text area. There is very simple code written for this as below:

DeploymentTaskController.actLogTArea.appendText(UnixBoxTask.summary.toString());

                DeploymentTaskController.actLogTArea.end();

Here "actLogTArea" is the reference of text area, summary is StringBuilder ...can anybody guess what can be the issue here? any solution if somebody has already faced this? it may be possible that image i have placed in question is not visible.

Answer 1

Change the font of textArea to generic monospaced one:

actLogTArea.setStyle("-fx-font-family: monospace");

To change other font properties (and see limitations) refer to JavaFX CSS Reference Guide.
