trying this in my scratch buffer displays the text using normal
monospaced font. In any case, I created another buffer and changed it
to proportional font and yes it has a very similar appearance, albeit
maybe with a single pixel gap. (different background etc. maybe making
it appear subtly different.)

Yes, definitely. I'm using:
ftcrhb:-PfEd-UnVada-regular-normal-normal-*-29-*-*-*-*-0-iso10646-1 (#x10)
I have tried a different font (Carlito) for variable pitch and it does
look better for this aspect. I don't like that font as much overall,
mind you. I haven't really spent much time trying to find a good
proportional font to date. Something for when I'm seriously bored, I
guess. 😉
So the choice of font for variable pitch has an impact, which is kind of
obvious and which has already been highlighted in this thread...
thank you,
eric
