When editing code in the posting.php <textarea>, my browser - Mozilla 1.5b - displays the text with a variable width font.
Wouldn't it be nice if the textarea where you edit your posts could have a fixed width font?
My suggestion is that this is optional and can be chosen within the user's profile settings.
Ex:
<input type="radio" name="rdoPostFontFixed" value="1">Use fixed width font when editing posts.
<input type="radio" name="rdoPostFontFixed" value="0">Don't use fixed width font when editing posts.
And change the stylesheet font declaration accordingly.
posting.php suggestion: Fixed width textarea option

This is really a client side matter, so the solution should go into the presentation layer (template) instead.
If the font is settable using javascript it would be even better if one could just click a radiobutton beside the textarea rather than setting this in the profile. Completely dependent of the template of course.
Then it is a piece of cake to implement and could take less than ten minutes.
