Filter for choosing fixed pitched fonts in ISPF editor

In the preferences for the LPEX-Editor it should be possible to filter the choosable fonts to fixed piched fonts.

When coding in COBOL or other column based languages it is very confusing when the user chooses a font with a variable width of every sign.

    Ok. Let me resume. IBM is coding eclipse and IBM is coding RDz. Because there are some things special about COBOL and ISPF IBM offers an special editor for coding in COBOL. The LPEX editor.
    And now you close this rfe.
    It can not be because it is an eclipse dialog. IBM is also coding for eclipse.
    It can not be because there is something special (like fonts) about COBOL. You already have a special editor.
    It can not be because everything is working correct. There would be no rfe otherwise.
    Why do you not write that this topic is not important enough for you to consider it further? That would at least be honest.

    Upon further investigation the ISPF editor uses an Eclipse class for font selection. This dialog does not permit filtering of the displayed fonts (note that other eclipse editors also use this dialog). To implement this RFE an entirely new dialog would need to be written.
