Subject: bug#33967: [Feature Request] Use proportional fonts in Info-mode
Date: Thu, 03 Jan 2019 15:35:07 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <29a0d099-3af3-446e-9f0f-d5c2aacfcaf9@www.fastmail.com> (raw)
Right now Emacs' built-in info viewer renders almost everything using the default face. I can set the default face to a proportional font and read most manuals just fine, but sometimes fixed-width fonts are assumed. Try using a proportional font on "(ledger3)Register Report" for example. It renders terribly in Emacs even though texinfo's html output successfully mixes proportional and fixed-width fonts [1].
It would be nice to improve it by using proportional fonts where appropriate, and fixed-width fonts only where necessary. This would improve readability and better match texinfo's html output.
Thanks,
