A year ago I would have thought you were weird, but after reading a post by Ed Leafe, one of the creators of Dabo about using proportional fonts for readability, I thought I'd try it out, thinking that it was pretty wacky. Turns out that after a very brief adjustment period, I liked it! I've been using proportional fonts ever since, and have found only one drawback: code that is indented with spaces looks butt-ugly. I'm glad I switched to tabs for my code. -- # p.d. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
