This is possibly due to the default font setting. You can choose a monospace font and have all the goodness you wished for. For instance, the following works for me in my .emacs, but YMMV. (setq running-emacs-23 (> emacs-major-version 22)) (if running-emacs-23 (progn (set-default-font "Monospace-7"))) Kumar -- And Bruce is effectively building BruceIX -- Alan Cox -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
