The ability to use variable width fonts is cool. One problem I have, though, is that the indentation width can be very small with variable width fonts.

Let's assume that tabsize and indent.size are set to 3. When viewing with "Use Monospaced Font", things are great. When using variable width fonts, however, this setting can result in a very "shallow" indentation.

Seems it would be cool if we could set...

font.indent=$(font.monospace)

...with the result that fixed-width space characters would be used for calculating the displayed indentation depth, but the rest of the line would be rendered as usual.

This way, tabsize and indent.size can be set to the user's preference (or the overlord's unbending policy) and you will get consistent indentation depth in both variable-width and monospace modes.


If this can already be done in some way, and I missed it in the docs, please smack me on the head with the clue hammer. Thanks. :)
