Well, as mutt is a CLI application it doesn't care about what font is in use anyway as this is the task of the tool that displays the output. So in most cases I have seen the terminal that renders the fonts is putting each character in a cell, so you get no benefit from using a variable width font, despite that it looks ugly in most cases. So I have come to the conclusion that a perfect monospaced font like Terminus provides the best UI that one can achieve. Regards, Andre -- Andre Klärner
