E.g., I have proportional fonts turned on by default in Gnus *Article* buffers, and even in this message composition buffer (and I can toggle it in a buffer with `C-c C-v'). Because of disagreement about random implementation details with RMS, this isn't in the CVS trunk, but it's a reasonably simple patch (it's a C-level change though, not lisp-level). [I assume that the details will be worked out in the future, and such a feature included in a future version of Emacs, but I find it too exhausting to argue (with RMS) about, especially with a release pending, so I'm not pushing right now.] -Miles -- Next to fried food, the South has suffered most from oratory. -- Walter Hines Page
