Hi all,
I remember reading somewhere about a recent experiment with proportional
fonts in the modeline. I compiled a new Emacs (from master) a few days
ago, but the font is still fixed-width. How do i enable variable-width
fonts in the modeline?
TIA,

Customise the `mode-line' face.

Thanks, this line:
(set-face-attribute 'mode-line nil :height 0.8333 :inherit 'variable-pitch)
did the trick (the :height is an old customization of mine).
Thanks,

I believe that only tab-bar mode uses variable-pitch by default right
now. In fact mode-line face was inheriting from variable-pitch as well.
You can find that in commit 84bf9549860aae22931951d52b194b1fcfca1556 but
later it was removed in commit 3f843b25dc96867043feebb1d928bde4a7a777a3
Quoting from commit 3f843b25dc96867043feebb1d928bde4a7a777a3:
> (mode-line): Don't inherit from vaiable-pitch.
So right now you have to force variable-pitch in mode line face by
modifying mode-line face.
I hope this clears all the confusion.
