In fixed-width fonts the period is a small dot on a huge area of white space. It contains much more white than it would in a proportional font and/or the dot is much bigger to compenstate for that. Either way, in most fixed-width fonts the period sticks out pretty well. I don't see how that can be harder to parse than when set in a proportional font, let alone why an extra space would help. can't-afford-to-stay-out-of-a-typographical-flame-fest-on-python-dev-ly y'rs - Just
