Done in much the same way as it is in the GTK front end: the character cell width is determined using the font's digits (which seems to give generally not-too-offensive spacing in most cases, at the expense of Ms and Ws typically overhanging a bit into adjacent cells) and each character is centred in its cell. Overhangs never leave permanent droppings on the window, because the existing work done in r5003 handles them just fine even in this stressful scenario. There's a hacky new checkbox in the Appearance panel to make variable-pitch fonts appear in the font selector (they still don't by default, because I still think it's _usually_ not What You Want); the checkbox state is not actually stored as part of a saved session, but it should be automatically ticked when reloading a session that's got a variable pitch font selected. (I'm half-expecting a potential flurry of requests for this feature in the wake of http://xkcd.com/840/ , so I thought I'd pre-empt them :-) [originally from svn r9063] [r5003 == ba470dec5e37ffbde05425f48e7e9a64219aec2e]
PuTTY README
============
This is the README file for the PuTTY installer distribution. If
you're reading this, you've probably just run our installer and
installed PuTTY on your system.
What should I do next?
----------------------
If you want to use PuTTY to connect to other computers, or use PSFTP
to transfer files, you should just be able to run them from the
Start menu.
If you want to use the command-line-only file transfer utility PSCP,
you will probably want to put the PuTTY installation directory on
your PATH. How you do this depends on your version of Windows. On
Windows NT, 2000, and XP, you can set it using Control Panel > System;
on Windows 95, 98, and Me, you will need to edit AUTOEXEC.BAT. Consult
your Windows manuals for details.
Some versions of Windows will refuse to run HTML Help files (.CHM)
if they are installed on a network drive. If you have installed
PuTTY on a network drive, you might want to check that the help file
works properly. If not, see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/896054
for information on how to solve this problem.
What do I do if it doesn't work?
