I'm trying to show some mediainfo output in a Zenity dialog, using 

mediainfo 00000.MTS | zenity --text-info
and here's there result. As the image shows, the text is badly formatted because of spaces, while it shows just right in terminal.

Can I change this? Also, is it possible to format particular strings of text (e.g: the "General" and "Video" headers)?

Yes, just change the font to one that is monospaced:

mediainfo 00000.MTS | zenity --text-info --font='DejaVu Sans Mono'

is it possible to format particular strings of text

No, this is not possible with --text-info.

  • I wonder why this got downvoted. It looks to me as a good answer. +1 – tmt Mar 23 '15 at 12:12
  • FYI, as of version **3.14.0** of **zenity**, the depicted `font` option does not appear to be available when using zenity's `--list` format... – Digger Jan 21 '21 at 19:03
