Description raphael.cazlev 2015-02-17 18:54:25 UTC

When using a fixed pitch font that is not tagged as a "fixed pitch font", 
We cannot use the word wrap marker.

When we are sure that we use an fixed pitch font, but when Kate or Kile not reconize it,
Is it possible to add an option to override this ?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use a fixed pitch font that is not tagged as it (like Input Mono fonts)
2. Enable word wrap marker on Kate or Kile


Actual Results:  
We don't see the word wrap marker

Expected Results:  
We see the word wrap marker

I faced the same problem with Hasklig (aka Source Code Pro).

When the font is set to "Ubuntu Mono", the static word wrap marker is visible. Switching to Hasklig makes it invisible despite "Show static word wrap marker" option being turned on.

Can we hope for a fix for this? Should be trivial by a quick look.

We could just remove the check and always paint the marker.
Users are then responsible themself if they can live with how it looks depending on the font.
Would that be ok?

Sure. I don't even get why the check was added in first place.
