Hi,

Just tried 1.0.1b1 and there is a little problem with non-fixed size 
characters, when I choose a non-fixed size font or when I use big 
characters (like Japanese characters). As pictures are always better 
than words, just look at the attached image. What is selected is the 
end of the line. And the text goes way after the end of the window, 
without any scrollbar. There is the same problem with proportional 
fonts. Yes, it looks better than in 1.0 but not being able to see what 
is selected is really not great. In 1.0, the characters were 
overlapping but at least we could see what is selected. As the 
double-size CJK characters are certainly not for 1.0.1, I think the 1.0 
behavior of "every character will be drawn with the same width" was 
better. And it's also true with proportional fonts. But it's just my 2 
cents.
The 1234567890 is just so that you can see that the Japanese characters 
do not have the same width than roman characters. The font is Monaco 10 
(but for the Japanese characters, I think a fallback font is used).

Just 2 other stupid things:
- it's great to have thanks in the release notes ^o^
- I just bought my TextMate license to support the development ^o^. Go 
Allan, go! Make of TextMate the best editor on Earth ;o). And tell us 
when you have your new G5 ;o)

Cheers,
