You can. I'm not sure why is that but it seems that your emacs is not |
| 13 |
able to find variable pitch font - "About emacs" screen and tooltips |
| 14 |
are using such font; normal edit buffers uses a fixed width font. To |
| 15 |
be more precise, they are using 'variable-pitch' face so you have to |
| 16 |
set font for that face. You can do that with 'M-x customize-face |
| 17 |
<RET> variable-pitch <RET>'. This displays a buffer where you can set |
| 18 |
the font. |

Note that 'customize-face' command offers you the face that is used to |
| 21 |
display a character on which the cursor is. So if you place the |
| 22 |
cursor on one of the empty boxes then 'M-x customize-face <RET>' should |
| 23 |
automatically offer you the 'variable-pitch' face. |
