No, with variable pitch fonts there is also a problem but it's a different one. Basically the rectangle commands operate by pretending your font is monospaced. You can see it with the rectangle highlighting of `C-x SPC` where the "rectangle" won't be very rectangular in the presence of variable pitch fonts. For such cases, it's not even clear what The Right Thing=E2=84=A2 should be. Stefan
