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.) > In which case it sounds like your proportional font just is that way. 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. =F0=9F=98=89 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 --=20 Eric S Fraga with org 9.5.1 in Emacs 29.0.50 on Debian 11.1
