thats not what it does - it maintains monoSPACE while chaning the characters to not look the same width -- the best of both worlds, if anything



Its ok but instead of uneven spacing you get uneven character widths.

It might be ok but there is a reason why type designers make every character to be the same and try to balance everything including spacing.

Monospaced fonts designs are dictated exactly by that limit of fixed character+fixed space.

But maybe the “healing” might not be verydistracting.

But this was designed by type designers. So you can make exactly the same argument about texture healing.
