No, no.  It's C-u 40 M-x praise-be-unto-xemacs  (after you have let
custom.el do its ``hopeless, tasteless, face f***age'')  :-)

I used proportional fonts for a time with exmh, and never got
comfortable with the fact that it was difficult to tell what the
message would look like on a fixed width font.  What I'd like to see
is only the *Article* buffer displayed in a proportional font, but
have message mode and everything else come up in a (boring) fixed
width font.  Can you do something like that?
