Anything else and they look ragged.
Yes. But this is out of scope of the discussed tag alignment - `org-auto-align-tags' controls the actual plain text in Org buffers. `org-tags-column' has no meaning when non-proportional fonts are used. For non-proportional fonts, the display depends on the specifics of the fonts used to display various parts of the headline. If we want to display Org tags right-aligned, for example, it is a job for fontification and does not need to involve editing the underlying plain text. > So I suspect people using variable pitches will already have this turned on, > and making it the default won't bother them. Sure. I'd like to hear from people who do care about the proposed changes. -- Ihor Radchenko // yantar92, Org mode contributor, Learn more about Org mode at <https://orgmode.org/>.
