When using info_dialog, I now use the details option for added information. One annoying quirk is that, at least on Ubuntu 10.10, the font of the details box is not a fixed font, and its not using HTML. While this is fine for most things, it makes lining up columns of information difficult - so I either need to put the second column of data on the separate line (using spaces to indent) or accept a wavy column.

Haven't seen a way around this in searching. I think its using the system font which obviously I don't want to change. Any suggestions of settings/functions that can allow me to use a fixed font or HTML in the details section?
