Summary: Incorrect size of tabulators (i.e. \t symbols)

Initial Comment:
jEdit 4.3.2 server mode, using java 1.6.0_20 on
Linux ubuntu-vladimirs 2.6.32-24-generic #39-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jul 28 06:07:29 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux

Output of tabulators (i.e. \t symbols) is incorrect in text area (when tabulators are not replaced with spaces).
Try to put following line into text area when tab stop = 4 symbols

1111222233334444555566667777888899990000
	2222	4444	6666	8888	0000

second line will be wrongly formatted (will be enormous short because of incorrect size of tabulators).

Message:
Please goto "Utilities -> Global Options -> Text Area" and turn off
"Fractional Font Metrics". Now a mono-spaced font should be displayed
correctly. If so, You have re-discovered bug #1256255 ;-)

p.s.
When turning off "Fractional Font Metrics", it may be that the display
isn't correct immediately. It may need some playing around..
