For Chimera (or any other molecular modeling program) to open a PDB file, it should be kept as a PDB file, which is plain text.<br>

<br>
The font used to display the text is a completely separate issue. It is not a Chimera question. To display any text with constant spacing, you just have to use a fixed-width font such as Courier.<br>

I hope this helps,<br>

Regular .text (to pdf and illustrator ) file fonts are horrible, Is there is way to keep same space between columns and change the fonts size and style that respects pdb format. Therefore I want know is there any additional option in chimera to export coordinates? in a nice way so that if someone copy these coordinates from the article they should be open in chimera with out further editing.<br>
