But don't fixed width fonts, which many consider the best for code, mean fixed width spaces too?

- SAI_Peregrinus 1y agoIf that were the case tabs would be fixed width too. But they're not. There's no fundamental reason tabs have to be the only variable-width character.
- eikenberry 1y agoTabs would only be variable in the number of spaces uses, but those spaces will be fixed width.
- jononor 1y agoAnd spaces could be variable in the number of "sub-spaces" used. Each could be say 1/8 of a regular space.
