Doesn't it become a length problem when we are talking about a fixed-width font though? Thanks for elaborating, you obviously know more about typography than I do! I don't have much reasoning behind my choice of font apart from personal taste. I just took another look at Liberation Mono for the first time in years and it is eerily similar to Akkurat Mono which probably explains why I like both of them so much.

When drawn on its own with a space before and after, the length itself is not the problem, but of course in a monospace font, character_spacing = (character_width - actual_width_of_glyph), so you are right in that respect. Semantics. :-)
