Subject: bug#33967: [Feature Request] Use proportional fonts in Info-mode
Date: Thu, 03 Jan 2019 15:35:07 -0500

Right now Emacs' built-in info viewer renders almost everything using the default face. I can set the default face to a proportional font and read most manuals just fine, but sometimes fixed-width fonts are assumed. Try using a proportional font on "(ledger3)Register Report" for example. It renders terribly in Emacs even though texinfo's html output successfully mixes proportional and fixed-width fonts [1].

It would be nice to improve it by using proportional fonts where appropriate, and fixed-width fonts only where necessary. This would improve readability and better match texinfo's html output.

Thanks,
