Re: How to make Emacs popular again: Use monospaced fonts less

[Lars Ingebrigtsen]

This reminds me, by the way...  I forget if this has been discussed
before or not, but in these cases it'd be handy to have a text property
like, say, (propertize "foo" :min-width 5) (or :min-width (50)), and
have the display engine compute how much space to add to the end.

Would that be much work to add?
