FocusWriter is all writing, no distractionsFocusWriter is all writing, no distractionsPosted Nov 7, 2010 20:27 UTC (Sun) by eru (subscriber, #2753)In reply to: FocusWriter is all writing, no distractions by nicooo Parent article: FocusWriter is all writing, no distractions Vim doesn't support proportional fonts. The same with anything running in a console. This is of course a personal preference, but I find proportional fonts very distracting for editing. I actually find myself making more typing erros with them than with fixed-width. Odd.

Doesn't that depend what sort of thing you're writing? I find proportional fonts intolerable for writing code, but when writing English (including things like LaTeX), proportional fonts are a must. (This would probably be true of all languages using a Latinate writing system, if I spoke any others.)
Proportional fonts are all distractions, no writing Posted Nov 11, 2010 11:11 UTC (Thu) by eru (subscriber, #2753) [Link] Doesn't that depend what sort of thing you're writing?For me, not really. I find any writing is easier in fixed-width. The first thing I do in any GUI mail client editing box is set the font to fixed, if possible, otherwise my messages are even more garbage than usual... I really don't know why it is so. Perhaps my subconscious does not get enough feedback when hitting a symbol that is very narrow in proportional fonts, and hits the key again?

"I actually find myself making more typing >erros< with them than with fixed-width."
Did you write this using a proportional font? :-)
