Just saw this bug in the ML, and thought I'd give it a shot. Changed font from Monospace ("margin" line did not show) to Bit Stream Vera Sans Mono and the "margin" line showed up right away. Thanks for the work around! -Jason

I setup Bitstream Vera Sans Mono, but Vertical line not shows.
this line appears only when i select font Corier New or "Fixed" font. >he problem is with the Qt library, it has some errors in which fonts please tell some more about this problem.
in kdelibs/kate/part/katefont.cpp: void KateFontStruct::updateFontData () { // [...] m_fixedPitch = QFontInfo( myFont ).fixedPitch(); } QFontInfo returns sometimes false, allthough it *is* a fixed font. We cannot do anything about it, afaik.
yep, no chance to change this atm, perhaps in QT4 this is better...
Mark. Situation is still the same in the end of 2016. It seems that to use a different font is the only option.
