Steve,

disassembling the 20090104 version I see that some glyphs have different
widths, for example `.notdef' and `.null'.  FontForge is correct to not
set the `isFixedPitch' flag.  The same is true for the 20100919 version,
where the `.null' glyph has a different width.

Regarding FontForge: I've followed the thread, and Khaled is right.  I'm
sorry that it became personal.  Please bear in mind that the
`isFixedPitch' flag comes from a very ancient time where non-spacing
glyphs (let alone Unicode or OpenType) was something exotic.  It's also
unfortunate that the OpenType standard doesn't provide a better
explanation for the flag which can't be misinterpreted.

Note that I only react to the input.  Here on LaunchPad I'm just a guest
observer,; I only take care of the FreeType bug report.  It's my job to
analyze the data and point out the problems.  It's *not* my job to
search the internet whether a better solution exists.  Sometimes I know
a better one, but usually I simply don't have enough time for that,
sorry.  Besides that it's good to know that recent versions of the font
have this issue fixed!
