Ok, thanks for the work. FWIW I use "monospace" as my font in kate 
(which maps to ); regular and italic seem to be the same size, at any 
rate I don't have column alignment problems.

Anyway dhaumann, Mirko and I talked about this on IRC, and from previous 
bug reports also it seems Qt cannot be relied upon to tell if a font is 
fixed pitch, either via QFont or QFontInfo. IOW this is indeed a Qt bug, 
and worse, one that has been around a long, long time.

Meanwhile it is *also* a kate bug; my understanding (based on qfont.cpp) 
is that Mirko's patch is needed anyway, so I've asked him (on IRC) to 
commit.

I'm also waiting on a TTID...
