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.
