When displaying a variable width font the editor should switch from using the sum of N glyphs to a user defined total width in absolute measurements (like millimeters). Alternatively if the editor had to guess it could just use the widest glyph of the current set. People, please stop using broken tools. If you stop using them people won't keep producing them.
