Yes, with variable width fonts, different characters take up various
amount of space -- that's the point, and will have to be dealt with.
There seemed to be some claims that even totally numerical elements
(that doesn't change the number of digits) also leads to shifts that'll
have to be handled (like display-time-mode), and that just isn't lining
