I'd like to write a wrapper for growlnotify that growls output from cowsay.

$ cowsay 'this is cowsay'
 ________________ 
< this is cowsay >
 ---------------- 
        \   ^__^
         \  (oo)\_______
            (__)\       )\/\
                ||----w |
                ||     ||

I've hunted through all the available Growl themes & appearance options but can't work out how to change the font to fixed-width, so the ASCII-art output from cowsay isn't munged.

Could someone please tell me how to switch the font used by Growl?

Growl styles are essentially just CSS and HTML.

  1. First find your styles in ~/Library/Application Support/Growl/Plugins.

  2. Choose the theme you want to make monospaced. Make a backup copy of it.

  3. Context-click on it and select "Show Package Contents"

  4. Navigate into Contents -> Resources

  5. Open the default.css file in your editor of choice.

  6. Update the font-family declaration in html, body rule set to begin with the name of your preferred monospaced font, e.g. Ubuntu Mono.

  7. Save.

  8. Mooooooo!
