QTextEdit not rendering $nbsp correctly with Windows' default font face

[davidlatwe]

Problem

In PR #102, commit 2b94ae6, I have added this code to resolve indention missing (white space at the start of line)

line = line.replace(" ", " ")

At the time I was working on Mac, but I shift to Windows just now and found out that all the spaces was gone !

I had a good search and I found that it seems to be related to the default font face on Windows.

Here's the link, and I quote :

Update: Turns out I missed something important:   in Qt/Windows renders incorrectly only with the particular monotype font that I was using called 'Terminal'. When I switched to 'Lucida Console' (or any other font for that matter)   renders correctly!

So I have a quick test, changing the font face of info level log message to JetBrains Mono, and indeed it render correctly now.

I changed this line :

allzpark/allzpark/dock.py

Line 246 in 2eacba8

}.get(level, "<font color=\"#222\">")

into

        }.get(level, "<font color=\"#222\" face=\"JetBrains Mono\">")

And in the result image below, you may see the messages that was not info has no space at all.

So, looks like we need to pick a font face for Windows, maybe vendoring one ?

Noted that in the above stack overflow link, the correct answer have a good explain about why it happens.
