True for DejaVu Sans. Though it is the difference between the width of
a space and a character/digit that causes the issue for me. Again, this
is minor and subjective.
Note that some typefaces default to proportional spacing for digits.
Some fonts have a "tabular figures" configuration to enable fixed-space
digits.[1] It can be controlled by fontconfig, but that is outside
Emacs' control, as far as I can tell.[2]
