RFC: Kate Part + fixed / non-fixed fonts

[Christoph Cullmann]

Hi,
kate seem to have some speed probs, due of "lame" redraw at the moment. My 
plan to improve the whole drawing / calculation stuff would be to drop the 
support for non-fixed fonts, or at least enforce them to behave like "fixed" 
ones. (Which would make the most text-width, cursor-pos, view-pos, ... 
calculations VERY fast + easy)
But before I go to do that, I first want to get some feedback about the idea, 
in the areas:

1. would that kill any unicode support in the future ?
2. would there be some other probs I don't thought of ?

cu
Christoph
