I'm not doing that right now because Xft uses the 'spacing' value to force expansion to maxwidth. I think we need to figure out both the right solution and a plan for migrating to that from where we are right now. We need several things: 1) Identify monospace fonts 2) Identify dual-spaced fonts 3) Force fonts to be monospaced 4) Force fonts to be dual-spaced It seems clear the mechanism in 3) and 4) should be separate from 1) and 2), while right now they are tied together -- 1) and 3) both use 'spacing'. I suggest we add a new value that identifies mono/dual/other spacing in fonts; that will (at least) give us the ability to find fonts without affecting their layout. -keith
