   What has been the feedback on defining space in pixel terms?

   The thing that stopped me doing it for Scintilla was that it would not
work very well with the text magnification command. Maybe it should be
defined in terms of x-width which doesn't change as much as the width of a
space which varies a lot between fonts.
