Subject: bug#1254: 23.0.60; linum-mode display problem with variable-pitch font
Date: Sat, 25 Oct 2008 21:33:23 +0200

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

1. emacs -Q
2. C-SPC M-< M-w C-y C-y C-y (copy the *scratch* text so the buffer has
more than ten lines)
3. M-x variable-pitch-mode
4. M-x linum-mode

=> The rightmost digits in the double digit line numbers are partly cut
off and the single digit line numbers do not align with the rightmost
digit of the double digit numbers (as they do with monospaced fonts),
but are aligned between the two digits, see the attached image.

When I start Emacs with -Q and invoke variable-pitch-mode, the font used
is this: 
xft:-monotype-Albany AMT-normal-normal-normal-*-16-*-*-*-*-0-iso10646-1 (#x45)

In GNU Emacs 23.0.60.12 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.12.9) of
2008-10-25 on escher.
