By default? It would cause unpleasant horizontal movement of text, e.g. when the line number changes. Also, many variable-pitch fonts have a very thin glyph for SPC, so different fields could appear as a single field, another visual problem. Of course, nothing prevents people from customizing the face to use whatever font they like. > I tried a variable-pitch font for tab bars, and it looks good > and makes tab widths smaller, so more tabs fits into the tab-bar. Could be a good idea. Toolkit menu bars definitely use variable-pitch fonts on most systems. > But maybe non-monospace fonts might complicate calculation of various > text lengths when trying to fit tabs into the tab-bar. Emacs never assumes a face uses fixed-pitch font when it calculates the various metrics. So this cannot be a problem (barring bugs).
