The font doesn't make a difference -- double spaces help readability with variable-width fonts too, when they are rendered literally (presuambly MS word doesn't render them literally). Educational trends may make a difference in the long run, but I suspect Emacs is used by more "old timers" than MS-word-using high-school students... -Miles -- Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball. _______________________________________________ Emacs-pretest-bug mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
