Only to font. Number of characters is the same. > Is this because there is actually a font *named* "Monospace" on Linux, which > is a proportional font? “l” glyph looks differently in chromium (2-1.png) and in kcharselect with Monospace selected (2-2.png). 2-1.png: http://img-fotki.yandex.ru/get/9356/9151298.3/0_9ec11_7f2bc7af_orig.png 2-2.png: http://img-fotki.yandex.ru/get/9492/9151298.3/0_9ec12_aef63d40_orig.png .

Maybe set default to a list of common monospace fonts with an addition of “, monospace” as the very last resort for browser? Chromium has too many users to just ignore this problem. Google code uses the following as font family: “Monaco,'DejaVu Sans Mono','Bitstream Vera Sans Mono','Lucida Console',monospace”. Github: “Consolas,"Liberation Mono",Courier,monospace”. Bitbucket: “"Bitstream Vera Sans Mono","DejaVu Sans Mono",Monaco,monospace”. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post!
