Need monospaced font for class MFD
New, WishlistPublic

Description

Need a monospaced font for class MFD. The current HUD font has some letter that are narrower than others, and it interferes with more delicate HUD elements (for example trying to set up an altimeter with the 1000's in a larger font)

edit: just to expand on the example,

To create an altimeter where the 1000s are larger numbers (which is VERY common for HUDs) my idea was that i would have a unique class for each digit, and use sourceScale = 10, 100, 1000 etc to multiply the first digit to be the one i need, and then use clipTL and clipBR to hide the rest of the digits in that class.

This breaks down because the digits are not of equal width. I cannot clip out the digit i need because the position varies depending on the amount of 1s in the whole number (because 1s are shorter)

Also real airplane HUD fonts are monospaced because when the number is changing rapidly, its easier to read when the font is monospaced because the width doesnt keep changing rapidly.

ADDITIONALLY: it would also be nice to have some more symbols added that dont exist yet, most importantly α (alpha) and β (beta) which are commonly used.
