Interesting. What font are you using? Does it do the same in other fonts?
I ask because, by definition, an em-space for any given font should be the same width as the letter 'm' in that font. (And an en-space should be the same width as the letter 'n'.) Also by definition, an em-space, en-space and simple space should all be the same width in a mono-spaced font. So I'm asking, is this behavior a font thing (based on the font you're using) or a RealBasic thing?
