Hi Gary,
On 25 September 2000 at 12:09:29 GMT -0400 (which was 17:09 where I
live) Gary Mort wrote and made these points on the subject
of "Fixed or variable width?":

No. This is about Fixed Width aka mono-spaced fonts (Courier, Fixed
Sys, Lucida Sans Typ, Andale Mono et al) and Variable width aka
proportional fonts (Arial, Times et al). Mono fonts means you get true
WYSIWYG in plain text. Because of TB's editor and plain text
formatting functionality - like the justified paragraph format I am
using here, auto-format, tabular presentation, etc - TB plays "daddy"
and won't let the user select *any* proportional fonts.

.. because it's not a mono font.
WARNING: No holy font wars - I'm just informing here, okay?
