However, if my observation is correct, most printed material (books, magazines, etc.) have digits with the same width, so that a column of numbers is always aligned in whatever font used, except for rare fonts where "1" is itself narrower. So, while kerning explains the variable width of characters. it distracts and destroys the fixed-widthness of digits when you have long strings of digits in numbers printed. In the similar way Microsoft Word has a bug that even in Courier font and Chinese-traditional MingLiU, the "space" character is a little bit narrower than a letter, and we are fortunate that OpenOffice Writer does not have this problem.
