I don't see a reason to use variable-width fonts
except when they provide an improvement.  For ASCII art,
a fixed-width font is best.

I don't see a reason to use variable-width fonts for code, but if
people like that, I'm in favor of supporting it.

The place where variable-width fonts, and multiple fonts of different
width, are really important is for editing documents with formatted
text.
