Description of problem:
The "Liberation Mono" font is not really monospace. This causes layout problems
in text editors (e.g. when editing source code).
I have experienced this with size 9 (haven't tried other sizes), on three
editors: gedit, kwrite and kate.
Given that gedit and kwrite are using two different toolkits (GTK+ and Qt), it
would appear that the bug is either in the font itself, or somewhere in the X
server.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Fedora 12 + updates as of 29 January 2009.
How reproducible:
Always.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open an editor like gedit.
2. Change font to Liberation Mono 9.
3. Type in several columns of numbers, with spacing between the columns.
Actual results:
Text columns do not line up cleanly.
Expected results:
Text columns line up cleanly.
Additional info:
I'll attach a few example screengrabs (as followups to this bug report) which
show the problem.
