I just upgraded "?" my system to Ubuntu 10.10. The character spacing for
TAB characters appears to by 1/2 the size of printed characters. So one
must press the space bar 8 times to move 4 characters.
I do not know how I achieved this, or how to correct it. I would like
TAB key to advance 4 actual characters.
I was also curious how you add more fonts to the list available under
Options/Set Default Font menu.
Thanks. I hope this isn't too brain dead.

What's the value of tab-width? The default is 8, but maybe some
site-local files on Ubuntu 10.10 modify that. Try "emacs -Q" to see
if that's the reason.
