Re: [O] Clean up org-faces.el

[Diego Zamboni]

Hi Samuel,

Agree, I have started using variable pitch in org-mode and it has made it much more enjoyable.

I recently documented my configuration here: http://zzamboni.org/post/beautifying-org-mode-in-emacs/

About your point (1.3), I have source blocks set to fixed-pitch by configuring the “org-block” face, works well.

Best,

—Diego

thanks.

fwiw on variable pitch.

i find that variable pitch reads legibly.  is efficient with
horizontal space, and looks great.  it also makes the mode
line short.  took a few days to get used to, then it got awesome.  i
will never go back.

in my .emacs i made tables, example block contents, and
timestamps be fixed-pitch.  you want those to align.

it works great in org.

the only issues i have found in org are:

 1) these items do not seem to have their own face and thus
    cannot yet be made to be fixed pitch:
    1) list bullets
    2) the spaces before list items and contents
    3) source block contents
    4) numbers and number components like .-,+
 2) tags do not get aligned to the same window-pixel
 3) by default, c-c ' does not run prog-mode hooks where necessary to
turn it off.  or something.  trivial workaround is setting mode in the
block.  so not really a problem.
