No, I didn't imply that. Monospace may be better for the younger folk
too. Or, maybe it isn't. They will have to try out for themselves and
figure out which works better. I am afraid I don't have a theory of
monospace. You are probably looking for one ;-)
On the other hand, the notion that proportional fonts are easier to read
will have plenty of takers. So, everything Emacs can do to support
proportional fonts will be very welcome.
Cheers,
Uday
