Just because something *can* be done doesn't mean it *should* be done. Vim works perfectly well at editing text files using monospaced fonts. Why put in the programming effort (which is probably not inconsiderable) to support proportional fonts, when that same effort could be directed at providing more useful features and / or fixing any bugs in the existing codebase? -- <<< Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines >>> 11:19am up 169 days 18:18, 1 user, load average: 1.14, 1.23, 0.89 Registered Linux User #232457 | LFS ID 11703 -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
