Subject: Using Variable Width Fonts for org-mode and Fixed Width for Tables
Date: Thu, 26 Sep 2013 14:51:48 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <52443BF4.5070609@wilkesley.net> (raw)

I am struggling to get this to work. In my init files I have:

(set-default-font "DejaVu Serif Italic")

I have followed the advice on StackOverflow 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3758139/variable-pitch-for-org-mode-fixed-pitch-for-tables 
and customized my Init file to include:

(set-face-attribute 'org-table nil :inherit 'fixed-pitch)

However, table formatting is still screwed up. C-u C-x = shows

     xft:-unknown-IM FELL DW 
Pica-normal-italic-normal-*-15-*-*-*-*-0-iso10646-1 (#x29)

Character code properties: customize what to show
   name: LATIN CAPITAL LETTER F
   general-category: Lu (Letter, Uppercase)
   decomposition: (70) ('F')

There are text properties here:
   face                 org-table
   fontified            t
   line-prefix          [Show]
   wrap-prefix          [Show]

I have tried setting the font for org-table using Emacs Customize 
Interface, but without any success. Ideally I want tables to use a 
monospace font like Inconsolata or DejaVu mono. Can anyone provide an 
example of how to set org-table to use a specified fixed width font.

Ian.
